B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Wed, May 31, 2006 1:55 PM Ha! I like it, great concept. Funny how things come full circle. When I first met Doug Miller (now proud proprietor of Dug's Tiki Island in Kona) in LA ten years ago he showed me his mug collection and sheepishly pulled out some vintage mugs from an earlier art phase that he had painted. I cringed and he agreed that the pop colorizing was a mistake, and vintage mugs are way cooler in their original form. Ten years later, the Tiki revival is in full swing. Unthinkable in the mid-90s, a slew of new Tiki mugs is being produced. Both, Tiki mugs and the new genre of urban vinyl designer toys are highly desirable collectibles. Designer toys are routinely altered and personalized by known artists in individual ways. It was a logical conclusion to extend this concept to virgin Tiki mugs. Congrats!

T teaKEY Tiki Socialite The thumb ! Joined: Nov 09, 2004 Posts: 3687	T teaKEY Posted posted on Thu, Jun 1, 2006 7:32 AM Can't wait to see Flounder's work. Some artist like Tim Biskup can do a simple one hour painting that sells for thousands and then you have an artist like Founder that gives you a better quality piece for a better price. Plus he won best of show on his last something like this event.

I think it's very cool that dva gallery has offered us on tiki central a shot at some of this stuff before the opening.....those that haven't bought anything don't be discouraged, as there will be a bunch more mugs as well as art available at the show so don't think you're going to walk in and see "sold" stickers on every damn piece!!! based on the few pieces i've seen that will be in the show, this promises to be one of the best midwest shows and will probably top last years event.....this is definately one not to miss!!! see ya all there........

I'm definitely doing my best to make this an event not to forget. For those of you who are attending, I have just booked the HULA GIRLS and finalized everything with our sponsor, Voodoo Rum who will have lots of free goodies and most importantly, some exotic libations!! Can't wait. See you all there!

D DaTiki Member Joined: Apr 29, 2005 Posts: 136	D DaTiki Posted posted on Fri, Jun 9, 2006 9:57 AM Hey everyone. I must say, I never expected this kind of a response. Thank you all for your interest and support of these awesome, hard working artist. Though I still might post a couple more mugs, I unfortunitely can't post them all. I gotta save something for the guests who show up for the event. BUT- to keep the fun and excitement going, I thought I would just start giving sh*t away!!! EVERY DAY until the show, I will post a question right here. The first person to reply with the correct answer, will recieve the prize of the day. Please reply in the "Post Reply" section not by PM so that everone can see it. I will reply when the correct answer is given. Only one rule- you can only win once. Gotta give everyone a chance. So here we go with....... DATIKI'S CHALENGE prize: Thanks to one of our sponsors, a VooDoo Rum Gift Pack! Including a hat, t-shirt, keychain and sticker question: Who is the artist who designed this logo for VooDoo Rum? Good Luck! [ Edited by: DaTiki 2006-06-09 11:19 ]
