ey howzit braddah Pup,

Ya, da bulb is a souvenir...from DAM K-MART!
forgot to take it out da dam pictcha ya. good eye!

here are da pics i'm talkin about. Now see da aloha sign I made with the vintage decor of La Mariana and you see dey wen match up pretty good.

Now I did da panels on ebay da same way as da aloha sign. I like to make my work look agedm or vintage if you like sey. It gives it a look dat you don't get from da store bought items...(pier imports). I experiment(sp?) with different tings' to get da old look.

So, even though we cannot get da hard to find items dat were once in da old Don da Beach,TV's, Kon Tiki's etc, because they were thrown out, I'm inspired to bring you da same look.......I still dont have da formula down pack but I gon get em.

in da next pics you can kinda see some panels all da way in da back against da walls. Those were from Don da Beachcombers Waikiki. Those more resemble da large ones I make. I think they are beautiful and is the exact reason why I gon reproducing em, Including some of my own designs ie da ones on ebay.

I'm always asked "wat is da object on da panel that my name is carved into?"

It's a gecko in my twisted mine. da eyes are on da front an there are da letters "M" on da middle and two letter "O's" on da top middle. that reads "Mo'o" wich means gecko in Hawaiian. Hard to explain. Don't know if you will see it. anyways, mahaloz fo da look!

shoots!
