Tattoo News - May 2002



ON THE WEB

A very well written article on the SURVIVOR filming in the Marquesas is at : http://www.aaanet.org/press/an/0205RileySurvivor.htm Even (or especially!) if you are not a Survivor fan, it is well worth reading & provides some good insight into how indigenous people are often portrayed and effected by such film productions.

Pacific Arts Online has a website called ArTok at http://www.abc.net.au/arts/artok/default.htm

A good website of Kiwi & Maori art for sale: http://www.kiwiartz.com/

Last month we announced Pacific Pathways web site with the wrong URL. Check out: http://www.pacificpathways.net

If you are in Hawai'i, stop by Peggy's Picks on Kapahulu in Kaimuki. Peggy just returned from a buying trip in Aotearoa & the Cook Islands & has some great new stuff at good prices. It's worth a trip to check out the custom painted clothing line by Tav Creations of Rarotonga.
