Torrealbart you have some great art amigo. Erotic Tiki for sure. Too strong for some here but I like it.
When I go back to Venezuela I'd love to meet you and see your studio in Caracas.
I'm sure that a lot of other TCers agree they like your art but choose to remain silent.
This is where Janet Jackson dared expose a nipple after all and look what happened.
Here is a bronze mermaid in front of the Lobster Trap restaurant in Oxnard, California that has been there since 1967.

It was called the Summer of Love that year. I'm not sure whats happened here since but here is an example.

Above the door is a painting of a mermaid by my mother Ione Keenan who designed and decorated the Lobster Trap in 1967.
The painting originally showed nipples which someone has since painted out.

Above is another painting that has also been altered. The painting below is how she originally painted the mermaids.

The bronze statue had her nipples ground off and a top welded on sometime in the last forty years.

Usted hecho bueno art paisano, es muy fuerte por nosotros. (Lo ciento por my muy pobre espanol)
Welcome to Tiki Central.
