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!

The answer is: this site! :) It's a great source for tikis old and new. You should be able to browse for days without exhausting all the content here. There are tiki examples across several of the forums here. Just start browsing and taking notes.
