First off please be open to some straight up dumb-assery on my end I'm 21 and Ive just gotten deep into this hyperfixation rabbithole that is tiki culture. Second I know the photo is lackluster Im only just beginning, trust the process :) Im surprising with my family while they are across the ocean on vacation. Im building a backyard tiki bar, mostly inspired by Fijian art with some other pieces from other places, (Trying to keep it traditional I promise) and don't judge me but some small bits of horror insparation as well, my family runs and operates a haunt in Sacramento California where i grew up for 14 years (heartstoppershaunt.com) we now have been living New South Wales Australia for 7 ish years I'll be posting updates here as I go so far I've got a few things going, I also work at a cocktail bar so Im working on a custom menu ;) Inspired by the real bay just a shortish drive from our home Watson's Bay will become Watson's bay of Bones.
