Brad (Tiki Shark) Parker "Diga Diga Doo", 24" x 18", acrylic on canvas. It's inspiration was the Martin Denny cover of the 1928 Broadway tune "Diga Diga Doo" - Denny's amazing other-worldy-animal-bird-sounds version is exotica taken to a surreal level - as most good exotica tunes are; surreal sound pictures of non-exsistant far-away-places. "Diga Diga Doo" became a Tiki-Mug produced by Tiki Farm, and was so popular, they also produced a small "little Dig": (the small mug you see in the painting) shot glass sized. These are very rare. "Diga Diga Doo" won entry into "SPECTRUM 17 The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art" & hung in an art show at the birthplace of Low-Brow Art; "La Luz de Jesus Gallery" in Los Angeles. "Diga Diga Doo's" been reproduced in various magazines in various countries, as well as in calendars, cards, stickers, and was featured in the book "Surf Graphics" by Korero Publishing UK; a collection of the top 50 "Outsider Artists" in the world. The original is sold. You can purchase a limited edition, signed & numbered giclee on canvas print (same size as the original) or a signed 16" x 20" giclee on heavy paper. All art prints are museum quality, made with archival, fade resistant inks. These swanky "Diga Diga Doo" items can be purchased through http://www.mahalotiki.com or http://www.wylandbigisland.com.
