Well, just got back from Maui and a visit with the publisher of my 2012 "TIKI ART" calendar. Pacifica Island Arts. http://www.islandartcards.com/. Nice folks. They had never produced a "Tiki" art calendar, and were not sure if the public would understand it, or buy it. It's a bit edgy and kitschy, and maybe just strange. So... they were a little conservative on their production numbers. The 2012 calendars started selling last summer... slowly, and we all held our breath. Was the "low Brow" edgy art too weird to appeal to tourists and locals? Honestly a few of the big local souvenir production companies here in Hawaii had told me exactly that. Then we we hooked up with Pacifica Island Arts. And they took a chance on this crazy venture. Well, now it's the end of the year, and calendar season is in full swing. and the TIKI Calendar is KICKING -BUTT! On a walk through the ware house our publisher was surprised how few boxes he had left. Seems. the calendar buying public has warmed up to "Tiki Art", (there ARE hipsters and tiki-philes out there!) and TIKI sales are hearty.! (Yipee!) I talked him out of a box of brand spanking fresh TIKI calendars, and brought it back to the Big Island with me. So, now I have a fresh supply (though limited) on hand to sell to my fellow TIKI TRIBE here on TC! Don't wait too long. If you have been Jonz-ing for a "Tiki 2012 Calendar - the art of Brad Parker" NOW would be a good time to order! $25 gets you an autographed TIKI calendar, made in Hawaii, shipped to you from Hawaii, ready to fill your 2012 with Hawaiiana-Low-brow-Tiki-goodness! Send $25 to my pay pal registered e-mail address: [email protected] (for all mainland orders. Overseas add on $5 please) (OK, now the BAD news. Back when things were selling just OK, it was time to decide what would go into production for 2013... and the publisher got worried about sales. The economy was not great. He had to make a call on those early numbers, and chose NOT to do a 2013 TIKI calendar. (EE-GADS!) Now, yes, he's kicking himself because the TIKI calendar ended up being one of his best sellers!!) So, get your 2012 TIKI Calendar, beeeecause you are going to have to WAIT ALLLL THE WAY to 2014 to get another TIKI Calendar!!!!!
