Ive had my Artosuarus PNG painting for a while now. Its awesome.
 .
Sorry about the dark pic, its in my studio. Unfortunately my tiki bar stuff is still
packed away. Soon my tiki bar flag will fly again and my painting will be home.
Thanks a million Artosuarus! MP

I received the tiki bag form Tiki Diva Love yesterday. Even though it clashed with my outfit today the bag will be used quite a bit. My 2 daughters have been fighting over it since I unwrapped it - Thanks.
I'm looking forward to the next Swap. I say NO Tiki Bob - too limiting. I would like to stay away from "Mainstream Pop Tiki". Lets push the envelope - here are my suggestions:
- regional (PNG...)
- animal
- cannibal
- weapons/war clubs

When do you think you'll do the next one? I think I'll throw my hat in the ring too, looks like way too much fun to pass over again. Cannibals! MMmmmmm, tasty.

I'm down for animal or cannibal. I've done a cannibal mug (or two) already, but I'd be up for another go at it. Now that I think of it, I've got to finish the animal mug I already started (Fresh Crab Leg). Perhaps I'll do an animal cannibal! The only theme I'm not thrilled by is the regional one - but that is just me.

What am I supposed to do with my Tiki Bob sketches now? Cannibals sounds like a cool theme!

Once again I will express interest, but hopefully I'll actually come through next time. Sometimes it is really hard for me to get an extra piece out when I need all my work to pay bills in the off-season.
One more vote for "NO BOB" - he's been kinda done to death in recent months and it seems everyone is doing a mug version. I suspect the cannibal theme would be slightly limiting too - the whole "tiki eating another tiki" with added skulls has also been pretty well covered in recent times and is getting a little tired (Kinny's cannibals excluded  ).
I personally think the design brief should be very open in scope so we get to see whole lot of pieces that don't look the same. In this regard I think this last swap was probably the best ever. Choosing a specific culture or a universal theme like animals forces people to make some effort with their research and ensures plenty of surprises. Using the animal theme as an example, I can think of the following creatures I've seen in Oceanic art:
Fish, birds, crocodiles, octopus, turtle, pig, dog, lizard - and that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty more to be found. Just fish and birds on their own lend themselves to limitless interpretation...

Yeah, what Paipo said! (even though it doesn't count since he wasn't in the last swap )
Animals are the way to go. WIDE open - I can think of a zillion neat directions, and it is open to a lot of interpretation. It is, by far, my favorite theme idea.

I was only thinking Tiki Bob because secretly I wanted to win one of Bai's Peanut Bobs!
But any topic is good for me ...I like the kan-i-bull idea also. or shruken heads. or pretty much anything . I aint picky!
