One can only hope BigBro. Besides maybe Sabu or Dustycajun have a secret collection fetish that hasn't been introduced here before? :D I did discover this however. There's a velvet paintings museum in Portland called Velveteria that had a 1960's "Black is Beautiful" exhibit last year. Sadly this museum closed down this month. Maybe this post might inspire some of the Tiki Revival artists here to focus their talents beyond just Tiki iconography. I'm not really a Tiki mug person but I'd buy a Pam Grier "giant afro" mug or a Mayan Princess exotica velvet painting. :)
