The following article is about an artist named Tom Hofer, who makes large paintings based on old matchbook covers. There is only one painting shown in the article, but it is a good one - a giant sized Don the Beachcomber matchbook. (from the article) A true Tiki aficionado, Hofer was initially drawn to the Polynesian island motif found on the matchbook backs of such legendary L.A. hangouts as Trader Vic's and Don the Beachcomber. Later, appreciating the range of humor, sexiness and extraordinary graphics on matchbooks, he began to reproduce them on 20- by 25-inch canvases.The full article and link can be found here .... |
