Whatever happened to all the bad Tiki art?

I remember when chuckling at appalling Tiki art used to be the Tiki Central national pastime. What happened to all that bad Tiki art?

Oh, here's a nice one:

I love the self-appraisal the artist gives of her "style":"As you can see, I have developed my own style that surpasses the limits of time, color and space."

I missed that! That's great. So this woman is clearly an advanced being from the 4th dimension. Who knew?

Hint: when one has to state 'I have developed my own style', chances are they haven't.

Maybe she meant to type 'ignores' rather than 'surpasses'?

I always read 'outsider artist' as being someone recovering from a brain injury using art as therapy.
