The Lurid low-brow Tiki-Art of Brad (tiki-shark) Parker - Other Crafts

"Tales from the Tiki Lounge, issue #1" In my on going obsession with the pulp culture of the myth of Hawaii from the 1950's, I created my last painting into a cover of a non existent comic book. (it's just the cover, there is no book. sorry.) Question is, what to do with it now? Was it just for me to see what it would look like? My ultimate tiki-fan pulp magazine? Or, do I make it into an "art print" and sell it ? If it becomes a print, do I print them at "comic book" size (10" x 7"), so the illusion of this being a collectible is intact? Or, do I enlarge it a little, say around 14" x 11", just so it's a more respectable sized print? However, this whole exercise in obsession might be about recreating the illusion of an nonexistent piece of collectible pulp, so original size might be the way to go. What do you think? Aloha! Brad~
