Sounds like any good Tiki bar! Ha, Tiki Central coming full circle again, one of our own members knew the man! I don't believe he was a "Tiki artist" (as mentioned in the previous post) per se, but he did many "primitive" Moai and Tiki like statues, together with mythological and nude art. I would love to own one of his works, but how does one go about convincing people (like the guy who wants to auction one) that they are of subjective value only, and that they won't bring "thousands", without sounding cheesy, fact being that people who HAVE that kind of money probably won't care, and people that are into it do not have that kind of money...
