Ok, so this is only marginally 'tiki', but i enjoyed it...
these are front and back illustrations for an album cover for the phenom Santa Barbara punk-rock ensemble SILENT MEOW. They sound to me like a cross between Blondie and the Horror Pops.
Big Mahalos to Squid for hte introduction. Go to http//:www.myspace.com/silentmeow to hear some tunage.
front, aka "Discovery":
back cover, aka: "Dinner Guests":

I love your stuff: very unique mugs, the album covers are cool and refreshingly different, and the green women are awesome.

so this is my little wall-hanger tiki, knocked out of an old chuck o' driftwood from Rincon. roughed out with hand-chisels and an old buffalo-skinner jack-knife and finished with a dremel. I threw a mahogany stain on to give it a more witco feel.

Hey hey Toe,
You got it all down in spades... love the work man. Dig the "foundling' driftwood tiki. It was great to have met yourself, Doug and Derrick at Tikiville here in PS a few months back. Hope to cross paths again real soon
