Another quick question, I guess it comes down to inspiration. With all my previous work, I've tried to emulate someone's work or replicate the actual artifacts/etc. I always felt like that was a bit of a cop-out, but without using something as a pattern, I just didn't feel like the art came out 'right'.

Are there any good books or sites where you can just immerse yourself in all things Tikiesque and get a grasp of the design sensiblities, at least enough to create completely custom work and have it turn out looking good?

Thanks!
