All of them are designed by yourself??? Burning Man is supposed to be a community thing so many people had their hands in this. I should admit straight off I beg borrow or steal images from anywhere I can find them and hope the tiki gods forgive me as I sure don't make any money on this. As far as volunteers go I have to give credit for many of the fiberglass tikis (most of which are not pictured here) to a girl who in the real world works in high tech named Geri. When she originally volunteered I had her gluing sand on the Shipwreck's beach with the rest of the low skilled volunteers. Then I found out she had 3 art Degrees so I told her "make me a tiki". I soon got pretty jealous as her tikis turned out better than mine and I'd been screwing around with it for 15 years! However I always retain control of overall creative direction and a veto power to rein in anyone who strays too far from "Book of Tiki" principles. That being said 90% of the camp came from my ideas. Like I said before I sure could use some more of you tiki freaks out there to keep this thing going! [ Edited by: tikitikitom 2011-01-18 17:04 ]
