The 10 Years Book of Tiki Anniversary Show Opening - California Events

I had a heck of a time coming up with something for the show. I finally got an idea that I liked, and then it went through several permutations to get to the final piece. Since it's the BOT's 10 year anniversary, I wanted to feature 10 classic tiki culture tikis, and then I thought give 'em all mugs, and it’s a tiki party! So then, I gave them all vintage tiki mugs! I only own the Tiki Style book, but I used it extensively for reference. A reprinting of the BOT would be great... less eye strain for me! Congratulations on an awesome milestone, Sven, and thank you so much for allowing me to participate in this momentous exhibit!
