"Offering the Lei" will be available there for $700. It's 16"x20" enamel (what else, right?) on canvas. Then, my 11"x14" painting entitled "Admiration" will be available there for $600. It's enamel on stretched canvas. I originally painted it to be the actual Tiki Magazine cover (picture it with the Tiki Mag logo in the upper left corner). However, it was deemed to be too "dark" in nature, and too much of a possible legal risk to use as the cover. I thought it would have been unique and somewhat of an interesting departure from the norm. Anyhow, in the end, I can understand the concerns, but I still feel that it would have made a killer cover..... AND he's holding a Mai Tai in my upcoming "Player" mug from Tiki Farm! http://www.samgambino.com [ Edited by: Sam Gambino 2011-05-05 20:44 ]
