And as many artists often do they have a sketchbook that they jot down ideas into, or post on these forums. But what if there was a sketchbook where tiki artists could be found in one spot? A few months back I found this on the internet (I think I found it after getting Danny Gregory's - An Illustrated Life): http://www.sketchtravel.com/ To summarize (if you don't want to click the link, but you know you do): A blank hardcover sketchbook 1 page per artist No theme to it Once each artist is completed with their page they hand-delivered the book to another artist. So a few days ago it hit me - why can't the Tiki Community do the same thing? There are a bunch of great artists around - Shag, Yaniger, Horne, Thor, Tiki Tony, Ruzic etc etc. And it would be a cool project of a collection of all styles of artists who are representing the Tiki Pop Culture. But once this project is completed how to offer the book back to the Tiki Community and possibly to a wider audience? In discussions I have had with some artists, and as was done on the Sketchtravel project, all the proceeds from sales were given to a charity (which is all about the aloha spirit). This is just a starting post. Please like this and spread the information to those Artists who would be interested in joining this collective art project.
