Yes well having an object to sell that makes a person smile is always a good thing. I don't mean to put down shags art at all. In fact I find his stuff very inspirational. But it's just that when I think tiki, I dream of being on a tropical island watching the sun set, throwing rocks into the sea. Business card holders and soap seem to be the so far from "tiki". If I did have the oppertunity to make such a deal, in all honesty I would say no. I couldn't sell soap marked up in price because it had my name on it. The fact that my paintings were flying off at record speeds at showings would be enough. Well t-shirts would be neat to. But like someone said before it is pop art. Which leads me to ask, is tiki pop or do you think it has more soul than that?
