ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Show Announcement: "TALES FROM THE TIKI LOUNGE is coming!"

WHAT? -"Tales From The Tiki Lounge" - that's the name of my upcoming tiki art show.

ER, WHAT?: I know... here's some more info. I was asked by the gallery for a "Show Statement". I guess it's best to share it here with the Tiki Tribe first. This is where I started posting my tiki art years ago, just as I was first putting paint brush to canvas - you can see all my work, and my mistakes, from then till now over in the "Creating Tiki" forum. The support from tiki-fans, and the inspiration from fellow artists, I got here on Tiki Central helped me to fight through my self doubt as an artist. I don't think I'd be doing Tiki Art if it wasn't for TC. (Especially, for a few of "Little Lost Tiki" or "LLT" aka Ken Ruzic's really great smart funny and inspiring e-mails! He's amazing. If we are a cyber-space-international-spanning-modern-day "Tiki Tribe" then Ken Ruzic must be one of our Big Kahuna/witch doctor/wizard/high priests. Anywho, here goes the STATEMENT...

SHOW STATEMENT:
"Tales from the Tiki Lounge" is the rarest, hardest to find, and most collectible, Pulp-Adventure publication never made. It existed only in the Mai-Tai light Zone of Brad (Tiki Shark) Parker's imagination. These paintings are the cover-art of the most desired and sought after issues. So precious that they are nearly beyond price, and believability.

WHAT WILL THAT LOOK LIKE?

"Hula Baby"
24" by 30", Acrylic on canvas.
