Trader Vic the Penguin Modeller?! - Collecting Tiki

You can see some of his realist figures in his autobiography "Frankly Speaking", like "Sea Otter","The Flute Player", and two photos of him with nude models working on "The Lady In The Garden" and "Victoria". I have a great color PR photo of him at work with a model stretching her leg that I will put in my Witco book, in the chapter on the "Bohemian" aspirations of Tiki style. I would love to have the Penguin or any TV original, it just is a little too expensive for a funny non-Tiki item...
