** THIS JUST IN... ** Here's the link to the video for this event! Aloha everybody! In what may be the final step of Tiki De-evolution, I created a tiki out of Cheetos. The creation of the tiki was taped a couple days ago, and all the artwork goes on display at an outdoor art event (also part of the promo spot) today at 1pm on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. It will be set up in front of Footlocker, at 1300 Third Street Promenade (between Santa Monica Blvd & Arizona). I know it's horribly last minute, but that's, apparently, how I roll. Here's the tiki near completion. it's 32" high and 14" wide, made from a paste of Cheetos, water, and paper... yummy! I'll try to post more pix soon!

Don't let BigTikiDude near it or he will eat the head off of it before the judging begins. He's done it before. |

Awesome, you do the coolest stuff. You already create tons of tiki art out of nontraditional materials, but this takes the cake! |

Tiki-DEVOlution?!!? uhm, okay - this IS pure tiki-pop expression. Leave it to Eric to pioneer THIS poly-pop genre :wink: Bloody genius this is...can a Velveeta tiki be very far behind? Spam moai? (and yeah! Murph was right - this explains the bag of Cheetos at the Rumpus Room last night) I can't be in Santa Monica in person today but I'm there in spirit. Cheers!

An instant classic! I can't imagine your sorting process to find all those symmetrical Cheetoes for the border. |

Mahalo Everybody for your kind words of support! ravenne: It took five very messy hours to crush the Cheetos into a paste with water and shredded paper, and then sculpt the tiki out of the resulting goo! Here's pix of the event today:
I'll post a link to the promo clip when it's up on line! Mahalo fer lookin'! [ Edited by: tobunga 2010-02-04 17:52 ] [ Edited by: tobunga 2010-02-04 18:57 ] |

:lol: Actually, Cheetos are extremely flammable...they burn kind of like if you were to rub Vaseline on a cotton ball - POOF! - flame on! Try putting a match to a Cheeto and see what happens...kind of a stinky burn though...a good bar room trick... |
