GEEK ALERT:

i am completely GEEKED for our show on the 15th. As if the debut of a future HALLMARK Crazy Al tiki isnt enuff, we have also had some of my all-time favorite artists come sniffing around to be included in our little show...to the point that i have had to bump a dozen or so of lil'lost tikis little gems.

E.g., Drew Brophy is bringing up a 3' X 8' opus he created for the show. Phil Roberts is bringing up the first surfboard he has ever painted. Bill Campbell is debuting a surfer girl painting (yes, the Bill Campbell that illustrated the WIERDOS model kits produced by HAWK in the 60's!!).

And get this geek-o-philes, Stephen Blinkenstaff (famous for his Cramps album cover for Bad Music for Bad People and heir apparent to the great Basil Wolverton) has sent a couple vintage monster illos.

We also have surf-themed 1-shot paintings from 3 of Japans leading 'lowbrow' artists, and tikis from carvers from France, Germany and Denmark (mahalos to Brudda Tok Tok).

And if all that doesnt have you salivating, i just picked up a dozen or so cased of beer from our pals at Hinano Tahiti beer along with red and white wine from Twinfin wines and a couple cases of Bacardi rum to muddle up a Mojito or two.

and one last update for the artists: Remember that all artists must where clothing. This is NOT a clothing-optional reception.
