I'm just getting started on my tikiphile obsession, and I am fiscally challenged (aka broke) so the Shag originals are outta my league (though I wish they were not!) So, unless someone is tired of an orignal they have hanging around and want to donate it to me, I will have to limit myself to prints of some of these artists that have been previously mentioned. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned Todd V's art here. I spotted his work on EBay and like it a lot. Some of the smaller pieces are even in my price range! Search for "Todd V retro" and you'll find his EBay listings. Another artist that I like a lot is Burton Morris. He's not done anything tiki that I know of, but he does fun, vibrant pop art. He's a local (Pittsburgh) boy who made it big. His originals are cool and three dimensional. Unfortunately, I can't afford his originals, or even his prints for that matter -- but I was able to score a calendar of his work that a local print shop made. I took the images from that and had some of them framed. Voila! Almost Free Burton Morris prints! |
