.not sure I get ya sven....can you clarify with examples (not naming names of course)....i think i can add something here but i want to be sure of the issue in question....so far, i've seen alot of craftsmen here creating cool tiki art that could have hung in a vintage bar back in the day and you would swear it was from that time period....on the other hand, (and i fall into this catagory) there are those of us that combine tiki themes with other pop culture elements (i.e. hotrods, beatniks, burlesque, etc..)...I think the former artisans try to remain truer to the historical roots and the latter of us tend to meld tiki with a more current pop bent....

okay that's all i got at this point...is this anywhere near what you were talking about??
