Aloha tiki Tribe!
Here's what my tiki art looks like hanging in my local gallery... really one of the very few galleies I let carry my work year round. It's here in the small town where I live on the Big Island. The owner and staff didn't know anything about "Tiki-Art" or Pop-Surrealism, or Low Brow. But they learned, and really got behind my work and supported me. Great folks. I love having all the space in the front window they have given me. I'm very honored, really. And it's a hoot watching tourists react to my.. strange, and very TIKI, and very NOT mainstream art in a gallery where you'd never expect to find that. and I think that if you're on vacation and you travel thousands of miles to the Big Island, you should find art here that you can't find in Vegas, or Florida, or a dozen other places... you know? I wanted it to be like the old days when you had to travel all that way to find local artist. Sure, I still sell aq lot on line, but it's cool to have a physical location that really show cases my work in such a out of the way place.

if you find your self 5 thousand miles from the main land, on an active volcanic island, take a look in this Wyland gallery and see in person some Tiki-Art all together you won't find in too many other places.
