It's official, the next Art Swap theme will be Album Cover Inspired Art. Could be Exotica, Hawaiian, Tahitian Drums, Maori Haka ~ whatever you consider to be Tiki. Drawing will be 9pm Pacific December 24th and I will post results Christmas Morning.
Last winter we tried a Swap to end mid December but people got tied with the business of the holidays and could not meet the deadline. START WORKING NOW SO YOU CAN FINISH ON TIME 
For those unfamiliar with the concept, you make an original art piece (not a mold or a print) inspired by the theme in any media ~ could be a painting, digital, carving, ceramic, beaded, knit, sewn, mixed, diorama, whatever. People will be paired by random drawing and will send to their partner.
Here are past Swaps
Cannibals!
Sea Creatures of the South Pacific
Pele/Volcano/Fire
Ladies of Tiki
Birds of the Pacific
Papua New Guinea
Polynesian Menu
Shrunken Heads/Headhunters

How about another Swap. Perhaps a Xmas theme?

I like it! We tried to end the last winter Swap before Christmas but people had trouble meeting the deadline so we extended it to the end of January. If we start now can we finish before Christmas? How about holding the drawing Christmas morning?
What do you think?

If we put on a Santa hat on a tiki then he has to go in the closet for the rest of the year. I would hope to keep it on-line with the other swap ideas.
I would still like to see one with the art based on the cover of a Hawaiian album cover. Cheers, Wendy

I love the idea of Christmas themed but do agree with Wendy about having to put it in the closet for the rest of the year....
I'm in but I'm not feeling particularly creative at the moment. It might depend on if the theme brings me inspiration.

I'm up for another swap.
Hawaiian album covers would certainly offer a lot of possibilities for creativity to bloom.

The cannibal swap was a blast, so I would be up for another. Work has finally slowed down enough for me to check out what is new.
Is the piece an interpretation of an existing cover, or what we would like to see on a cover?
I like the Christmas idea too. Would a Christmas card exchange work?

I'm IN!
But not for a christmas themed tiki (I do so many holiday themed day job illustrations and animations through November/December that I can't imagine doing a tiki)
Also - if we are doing album covers - can it be exotica albums too - not just Hawaiian music?

I'm in again fo sho!
I LOVE the album cover idea, and vote for hawaiian/exotica. Tons of great ideas there! Does it have to be the exact album cover? or could it also be based on some of those great line drawings you see on the inside or backside of the record covers?
Also, although I enjoy doing my yearly christmas pendants/ornaments, I also think that it should not be holiday themed.
gonna be fun!! (and challenging for me! I LIKE it!!!)

In. I love the album-inspired theme... if Mike's theme is a go, would vote for a "Holiday" theme over a "XMas (only()" theme...  . Think the an LP theme will present some awesome entries. I'd agree w/ Henrik, exotica counts, too...?
Thanks Mike for kicking it off once again!

Thank you Mike for running another swap. I love them. I am honored that my idea will be the theme.
There is a music thread here on TC with photos of albums and also many are posted on Tiki Finds. Dan has some too with tikis on the front.
It's going to be fun to see the swap entry and what inspired the person.
Dan just got this one. I don't know if I'll use it but the hunt is on! Wendy
