"I feel little to no inspiration in taking art cues from Disney"

I kinda agree with ya here.
Not that I'm not into Disney , but on some of these swaps the theme is more geared towards
a person who paints or works in clay.
Guess you can paint or make anything out of clay though.
Plus not everybody has even seen the ETR, guess there are pics on line.

The Alien tiki theme would be hard for a carver as would flamingos, Flamingos? are those more FLA
slash buffet style?

Matchbooks and album covers is good because, well that's just everything under the sun.

I have only done one of these swaps, that theme was Pele and I had to stretch to make
a light to fit that theme by using a flame bulb, pretty weak Skip.

I guess what I'm saying if you want more people to join these swaps think of all the mediums that
people work in and try to make the theme easy for them to work in their mediums AND
fill the requirements of the theme.

Or do a theme that's fits a few tiki art folks mediums and get a few tiki art folks to join in.

Here are past themes...

Alien tiki
Tiki album art
Cannibals
Sea creatures
Pele/volcano/fire
Ladies of tiki
Birds of the pacific
PNG
Polynesian menu
Shrunken head/ headhunter

Ladies of tiki sticks out as a harder medium for non painters and clay art types.
