Hey everyone.
Been lurking here a long time and finally got around to registering an account. Haven't been into forums much for years but I spend enough time here I figured it was time to go ahead and make an account. I collect anything that interests me, including tiki mugs, movie props, and especially Disney. I've enjoyed Tiki anything since I was young most likely due to a combination of Adventureland at Disneyland, and Gilligan's Island, which was my favorite show growing up. But it really took off a few years ago when I finally turned 21 and was able to actually GO to the tiki bars I've always been so fascinated with. Currently living in Venice Beach, CA. I've been photographing for years, slowly working toward doing more professional work (portraits and weddings primarily), and I'm finally working on sculpting which I've wanted to do for years (not just tiki, anything that interests me, really). I've got lots of project ideas in the works. I'll get around to them sooner or later and post anything relevant here on the forums.

Some of you probably know me on Instagram. I post some of what I've done/am currently working on, as well as pieces of my collection. I don't post a ton, but feel free to follow if you're into that kind of thing.
