B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sat, Jan 31, 2015 9:07 AM Tim was such a dedicated follower and photographer of Tiki. His mother was Ione Keenan, she decorated the Tradewinds in Oxnard. Thanks to him, I have a photo of her in Tiki Modern, and one of her sketches in Tiki Pop. Tim grew up meeting all sorts of interesting personalities in Southern California. He even came out to see my exhibition in Paris, also because his brother, a renowned contemporary artist, had just installed a Museum exhibition right across the Seine river. Naomi and I walked over for our lunch break one day to see it. I am totally surprised and saddened by this news, Tim was a really sweet guy.

Tim wanted to help preserve the history of tiki, and used the best tool at his disposal: his camera. He set out to document all sorts of places. He made a lasting contribution, and made a difference. He contributed 165 photos to Critiki, photos that will help tell the story of tiki to countless people for years to come. He was a sweet guy. I'm sad I won't get to see him again.
