I think they put it on Yahoo so we would not trip over it and rag about it. http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/auction/76745600?aucview=0x23

I just don't think Tiki Central conversation was what he had in mind. [ Edited by: Angry Tiki on 2003-07-18 11:48 ]

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Mon, Jul 21, 2003 6:07 PM I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Josh and Pete should really buy up all those copies, and make a "bad art" show out of it...(and then donate them to the "Museum of Bad Art" in Boston (..is it?)). It's so cool to have contemporary plagiarism of one's own work! We could all go to the opening dressed in bad "retro" prints and bad nouveau Tiki accessories... bad taste of bad taste is the baddest!...or as Shag groupies, wearing EVERYTHING Shag possible. I think 10 years from now, these could be really "in"...to those of twisted mind, like some of us, that is. Hmmm, in 10 or 20 years, what will the Tiki revival of the Tiki revival look like?
T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Mon, Jul 21, 2003 6:15 PM Brilliant idea. I contemplated a wall of bad art in my house, but then I realised I didn't want to live alone the rest of my life. Mind you, some of my pre art college pieces could have gone on that wall too. Talk about goth teen angst! A gallery of Shag ripoffs. So funny. I'd go to the show for sure!!!!

The museum also has online "galleries"--and a gift shop! http://www.glyphs.com/moba/ [ Edited by: Erika on 2003-07-22 14:52 ]
