Aloha Tiki Central!

It's finally up for sale.
Fine art reproductions of "Mystic Tiki Painting number 11: The Moon Of Manakoora".

The Moon Of Manakoora
Gallery Wrapped Gilclee on canvas
24" x 30" (same size as the original)

Each Print is signed and number by the artist... AND will have additional painting done on each one by me, (the artist). What I wanted to do to the original was layer pearlescent tinting on the moon - making it glitter in the light. The title is "The Moon of Manakoora" - so I wanted the moon to have a real unique glittering effect. However, I discovered that the process of scanning in the painting for creating a gilcee prohibited such mediums. They don't come out correct in the giclee. So, to make sure each print has the intended effect of the original, I'm going in and re-painting the moon on each print, and including the pearlescent tinting. Each print will be slightly different, and sort of an original in itself, and have almost the same exact visual effect as the original painting - As close as is possible.

The Giclees are being created here on the Big Island by Honu Editions. Honu Editions specializes in Fine Art Reproductions. They create reproductions for most of the high end gallery's on the island, where their gilcees sell for $2,000 and up. They use fade resistant archival inks, and their color matching is dead on PERFECT. I guarantee it will be an exact reproduction of the original.

Shipping will be added, according to the buyers location, and preference for shipping services. Priority US Parcel Post or UPS.

The Giclees are not finished yet, but will be ready with-in two weeks. However, due to the extremely low number of prints being made, I wanted to offer to Tiki Central the chance to pre-order. There will only be ten giclees. Due to the time and labor it will take me to (obsess over and) re-paint each giclee to acheive the proper effect, there will not be another print run on canvas.

I take PayPal. If you are interested please Personal Message me.

Thanks for your interest!
Mahalo for Kona!
