This book explores the work of Shag, America's hippest neo-tiki artist, Leroy Schmaltz, the grand-daddy of 1950s tiki Americana, and the authentic Oceanic art that influenced them both. This book serves as the catalogue for an exhibition of the same name which illuminates traditional tiki culture through the display of primitive anthropomorphic carvings and shows, through the work of Shag and Leroy Schmaltz, how these artists have taken tiki to new levels.
