ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
little lost tiki-thanks! It was a while till I really understood that I didn't need to paint "real" palm trees, but palm trees that were "real" to my "Hawaiiana-Tiki world". Now, they are much more fun to paint, and draw.
So... I was on my "2012 Brad Tiki Shark Parker Promo Tour" talking to La Luz de Jesus Gallery for my July show, and meeting lots of nice folks who've collected my art, but who I never got to meet in person before - we tooled around LA, Palm Springs and San Diego. One of the last stops in San Diego was a real treat.
Abbas , my art agent / partner, and I stopped in to visit art collector, tiki & hot rod expert Rob and his wonderful family...

... and his AWESOME restored Ford 53 Custom line hot rod!

Rob's a great guy, has a house full of Tikis and tiki art (dig the gear shift) ...

Cruising around So Cal in a classic Hot Rod! Nothing quite like it.
Oh, work work work - of course it's all research and Development for new art work ya ' know.

ALOHA!
