T TabooDan Tiki Socialite Coast of BC now in Crowsnest, AB., Canada Joined: Jul 18, 2004 Posts: 691	T TabooDan Posted posted on Fri, Oct 3, 2008 7:49 PM Aloha to all!! We have been on here for quite a few years now and have never really showed you what we do up here in BC, Canada. We have done a few posts and shown some of what we create but I thought it would be good to have it in one spot as this thread offers. My partner, Reido and I (TabooDan), have had a business here in BC for about six years now. We design and create our own custom Tiki products. We do a number of different things and we are not just jumping on board here. I have been collecting Hawaiiana and Tiki items for over 10 years now and Reido has been doing the same for about 8 years. We both love and support the classic days of Tiki of the 1950's and 60's and appreciate the history behind what we do. We do our own custom work and all of our items are made from us right here in our own shops. This is a passion of ours that we have had a for a long time and has introduced us to many different people from alot of different places. A few of our items have been shipped across the US including Hawaii which was a pretty cool thing to do for a couple of Canadians!! Some of the things we manufacture are Tiki Bars, Tiki Poles, Masks, Wall Art, Custom Paintings, Frames, Original Artwork, Display Cabinets, Furniture, Shop/Store Displays and have some access to Tropical Decor and Imported Tiki Items. Basically, anything you want, or don't really need, we can do! At Taboo Tiki, we can also do rentals when we have the stock. We have worked with a few different local artists including doing several custom frames for Heather Watts. Our items are currently available at the best store in BC to get anything cool, Funhauser Decor in Vancouver ( http://www.funhauserdecor.com ). We have done a few rentals for some local TV productions and have also had our items obtained for the movie "Snakes On A Plane" featuring Samuel L.Jackson. This was filmed locally and we had a few of Reido's original carvings in the movie and a few different items from my collection as the back drop for the Honolulu Airport (which was actually the Vancouver Airport) scene in the beginning of the movie. We have created a lot of different items and have done a few jobs locally that we should probably let you all take a look at. Even if just one of you likes some of our items or gets a little inspired by what we have done, that is all we would like to do! We have not been able to update our website, http://www.tabootiki.com, for some time now (almost 2 years!! - Our web designer moved and we are stupid on this machine!!) so I decided we should put some of our items and some of the jobs that we have done here on TC for you all to check out. Your comments are greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from the TCer's that take a look over our posts. We will try to keep updating this thread with new items and with what we are doing. I'll be starting this thread with a few of our previous items and events that we have done. Feel free to PM me if you would like any additional information or place a post in this thread. We are trying to bring just a little bit of Tropical atmosphere and spread the word of the great Tiki to our little corner of the world!! I hope you like what we have created here in the great North West!! Mahalo, TabooDan [ Edited by: TabooDan 2008-10-03 19:57 ]
