I havnt been here in a million yrs. the last yr ahs been all kinds of not cool from tiki as a sccne. After 30 yrs of waiting my turn for recognition and still being excluded or acknowledged as a tiki artist. I said fkit and bialed. I've removed myself as much as possible from participation. The stalker and endless harassment Ive receiveed for talking about my own scene history wasnt worth playing along anymore. which sucks cause Im still a tiki artist. Its my lifes work. not a hobby or a side hustle its my full time gig. I work in my studio 16 hrs/day 7 days/ wk doing what I do and getting my work out there the best I can using social media to market myself. I will most likely never attend another event unless Im specifically invited and for that to happen i would need to be recognized for my work and the place in scene history that I earned as the first woman artist from the initial revival.and at this point thats will probably never happen because im already blakclisted and viewd as " bitter" ( a projection BTW). not bitter just no longer willing to be mistreated. For those that still have no clue how far back I go- the very first group tiki show was in SF mid 90's , 3 west coast artist. Bosko , Shag, and me. Yet Im still not considered significant enough to be included as a tiki artist or recognized for my decades of work. there are no documented accounts of scene history that inclued me. I dont vend. I despise vending. to me its like an art zoo. where you are in your little cage( vending booth) vistiors file past and look in with there judgemental hang ups. and theres 1 or 2 kids that came just to see your falvor of animal. If you arnt on the popularity train then you get treated like the bear with mange. so really Im super disillusioned with the whole thing. its better for me to do my version of tiki outside of arbirtartly imposed made up " rules of social conduct" that seem to be applied to artists in this scene. as if we are all supposed to have the exact same perosnality. some last century hangs ups if you ask me as opposed to accepting people for who they are . ( that ones got a bazillion layers to it) so being dissed by the scene is still a wound for me and I most likely wont be ackowledged for my constributions until after Im long gone and some newb comes along and " discovers" me and uses my lifes work to make a name for themselves. hah anyway heres some updated eye candy
