ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Well my art show is up and hanging at "La Luz De Jesus Gallery" in Los Angeles. (Whew!) Every thing went well. Nothing lost in shipping from Hawaii. Opening night was a huge sucess, with lots of tiki tribe folks showing up (Big Mahalo to everyone!) and about 70% of the show selling (so far!). (yipee!)
If you don't live in LA, here's a Sunday stroll through the gallery so you can see at how the gallery looks...

I got the big back room Gallery at La luz... which you get to after walking through the amazing book/gift shop called WACKO.

I'm really thrilled to be hanging here.

Many, if not all, the big names in the Low Brow Art scene have been launched from Billy Shire's La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

Lots of art sold, and lots o people came to the opening...so I was extremely pleased.. still kinda numb about the whole thing really. While a lot sold -

the hottest item being the art printed on the skate board planks - an experiment I did with a Hollywood art director friend of mine at the last minute, I dropped them off to Billy as he was hanging the show, and we worked out the easy-to-do-it hard ware to hang them from the wall. Happily, Billy thought they were cool (the notoriously gruff gallery owner even smiled while we hung them). They all sold, then the gallery started taking orders for more. Still are, till the 29th!

Of the originals that are still up for grabs, I think one of the best efforts I ever accomplished on canvas is not yet taken! See? Far left...

( personally, I'd call it the best purchase still available in the show ) I spent weeks just painting the freaking tropical flowers!
I hear there's a big closing show with live music by the Martini Kings!
Big Thanks to everyone who came!
ALOHA!
