Tattoo and kraken, we noticed, I asked the same question on TikiShout a few days ago. Sven and I have both contacted Puamana (Mimi Payne) who had the Arkiva Tropika site. This was part is her reply to me on monday.

"It was a tough decision, yet I did shut down Arkiva Tropika just last week. Having multiple websites was getting expensive, and I wanted to dedicate that money and time towards keeping up with my photography. It truly was a labor of love and something I really enjoyed doing, and I'm so glad that it was shared and enjoyed for as long as it was :)"

Thank you Mimi for sharing your collection with for so long, it will be greatly missed.

I would like those of you on Facebook to go to her page, where I first asked her if her site was gone, and say thank you. If you can't post there send her a message on Facebook, or here, for her site was on the shortlist of essential tiki websites ever created.

aloha, to you Puamana and mahalo,
