Hey, I had the great pleasure of finding the new location of the Thor Stor in Honolulu last week. Wow!! What a great spot! I was stunned and awed! What a great location - the brand spanking new trendy area - high foot traffic out da door kinda spot!!! By the by the young lady who helped me while I was in the new stor, Jamie I think, is very well versed in Tiki culture. She knew tiki artist, and carvers, and TC. Brownie points for dat! It was interesting to see the new location just a few doors down from the Wyland Gallery - Which couldn't match the Thor Stor for cool eye popping art. The era of "Whales and dolphin tourist art" has sailed off I thinks, and (thanks to the LA art scene and tiki culture) a new kind of art has reared it's carved wooden cartoon god head! Though, even the Wyland gallery has added Godard to it's roster to try to be hip I think. But, I'm not sure he's really low brow. He's a cool dude, and can really work a crowd, but hey, he paints martinis and doesn't even drink. What's up with dat? Don't get me started... okay, okay, it's all good. Room for eveyone in the art world. Anyways, THOR.... Cool art and congratulations on the new swanky gallery! U are making the world a better place.
