Oh Ken, Mahalo! Big Mahalo! Big Christmas fudge mahalo!

And for any in the Tiki Tribe who do not know the story behind the the "Kon-Tiki", (which am sure most of you do, but in case you don't it's worth a look).

Well, "Kon Tiki" is a book by Thor Heyerdahl. It's the True account of these crazy Norwegian scientist/adventurers who sailed a balsa wood raft from Peru to Polynesia.. tracing the route of a mythic hero named "Kon-Tiki". The book is a very good read, full of near pulp/fiction adventure, and an important part of the whole modern mythology of tiki culture. (in my humble opinion.)

I was reading the book. Caught a flu bug. was in bed, feverish, on too much cold medication with arum chaser, and fell asleep and had this really vivid dream. That's the image in the painting. I just hope I can translate a little of the magic of the dream on to the canvas.
