Can you do another version with him swinging from the background into the scene? Can it be me?

This confirms it. :) CKC - You crack me up. Don't be stingy on the hints with your girlfriend... :) ps. your reactions have given me the idea of trying to make a free e-card out of this image that people can customize & send from my website. I have no idea what I'm doing, so don't hold your breath, but I'll keep y'all posted on it. Mele Kalikimaka!

TT Travellin' Tiki Tiki Socialite Joined: Apr 05, 2004 Posts: 227	TT Travellin' Tiki Posted posted on Tue, Jan 25, 2005 10:11 PM Well, e-cards would have been fun, but I'm afraid a nice case of the pre-christmas flu stopped that idea in its tracks. Maybe I'll get some together for Valentines day... I do have that racy little hula girl from "Come & get your lei" available on cards now.... Anyway, it's been a while! Things are going good though & I just signed up to vend at Oasis (which I can't WAIT for!!!) so hopefully I'll see some of you there. Until then though, here's my newest tiki pic for your viewing pleasure. It's an illustration for that rockin' little book tikilee's putting together. Many thanks to Satan's Sin for the FANTASTIC story.

IH idol hands Member Petaluma, Ca Joined: Dec 18, 2003 Posts: 12	IH idol hands Posted posted on Fri, Jan 28, 2005 8:01 PM Very nice work and a catchy title too. How's the tiki scene in Vancouver? When I was there about two years ago there was nothing to be seen
TT Travellin' Tiki Tiki Socialite Joined: Apr 05, 2004 Posts: 227	TT Travellin' Tiki Posted posted on Mon, Jan 31, 2005 12:12 AM The tiki scene in Vancouver is finally getting off the ground! All last year I thought it was well, just me pretty much. But there's a tiki bar in North Vancouver now (which happens to be 4 blocks from my house) and we also have a real life retro / tiki decor store which opened this july funhauser.com! There's a one night only gallery that puts on an annual tiki art show as well & I know there are a few carvers working out of Surrey who I just haven't had a chance to meet in person yet. The guys at Funhauser (Peter & Alan) are fantastic & totally into getting things going with tiki in Vancouver. We will probably even have some sort of 'event' within the next few years & I'm planning to eventually add a 'local' section to my website to keep track of all the tiki stuff around town.
