Believe me, I understand where you're coming from. I make next to nothing for the things I create. However I have come to think that that's what differentiates an artist from a businessman. If your interest in creating Tiki is limited to it's profitability, then the road ahead is surely to be rough. I barely make anything now and will likely barely make anything in the future. I'm driven by my passion for the culture. I will always make Tiki stuff, even if I don't make a penny. Hopefully big box exposure to Tiki will serve to increase demand for other Tiki related items... until then, we struggle, but isn't that what artists are supposed to do? At least that's what I keep telling myself...
