Holler Waller - THANX!
ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Next commissioned painting: "Two Tikis": ideas, Skulls. Cats. One old style tiki. One modern style Tiki. Tiki bar in the BG. Hawaiian sunset in the BG.

Two Tikis so far.... lots to do.
Are you going on a vacation to Kailua-Kona on the Big Island? Stay at the mega-hip mid-century very "Tiki" styled Royal Kona Resort, 75-5358 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 (808) 329-3111 http://www.facebook.com/royalkonaresort
In the open air lobby, looking out over the Kona bay you'll see spinner dolphins, inside, you'll find a gift shop: "Lynn's Sundries"- http://www.facebook.com/lynns.sundries.

They have a full "Brad (Tiki-Shark) Parker" section. Big BIG Mahalo to Royal Kona managers Jeff Ibister & Lisa Rothka, for all their Aloha and support of me and my art.

A short walk down the street along Kona Bay, you find "the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery". They have original Parker paintings, original drawings, plus a huge selection of high quality giclees of my work. Gallery owner Mark Hanna, Gallery High Priestess Jill Weiss, and Sales Amazon Pamela Soteros have been huge supporters of my art and career, plus the whole Wyland team. I owe them so much for getting my "Tiki Art" out into the pop-culture of the Tourist rich Hawaii art scene. U can find them at:

All this happened through the wise guidence of my best buddy and Art Agent, Abbas. He has molded my career, and made it happen. Wait! What's that low rumble?! The ground is shaking! Is Madam Pele angry? Is the Volcano erupting?! Naw, Abbas purchased the "Bat-Mobile"... or, well, we call it the "Tiki-Mobile".

That deep roar is the Tiki-Mobile prowling along Ali'i drive as my Art Agent plays Batman.... and I get to be...ah... Robin?
Wha?
Look!
The Tiki Signal is lighting up the evening Vog!
Quick!
To the Tiki Lair!
Time to make TIKI ART!
ALOHA!!
