Much of it is over seas but a lot coming to our coast as well! I put my Tiki Brushes in the drawer for a bit, and took a little break from my Tiki Passion to "reboot". However, I have ideas like mad and starting to create again in my spare time...even some mugs!! I have a kiln that is groaning at the thought of all I have queued up!! I left a great position recently, a hard choice but a good one...to accept an offer to support visualization and creative direction on the soon to be new, ''Clifton's Brookdale' in downtown LA...WHICH WILL BLOW MINDS when we get this open in the next year or so. The developer/owner is a truly terrific guy named Andrew Meieran, who also is owner and creator of the "EDISON"...an incredible place in Downtown LA as well. He and I were introduced to each other by no other than Holden Westland, who's mug genius will no doubt be part of the creations. Lot's on our agenda this year...and my plate creatively on Clifton's and several other ventures with Disney as we grow this new company and think tank. Anyway, Please come by the pool suite this Year and say hello! I am mainly here this year to actually just enjoy myself for a change...will be bringing a few prototype mugs I am creating that are super fun..looking for feedback, but thats all. I plan to have a new website soon to cover my Tiki Art items soon to come. Sharing the suite with me are my fellow partners in craziness, Kinney (little lost Tiki), and Al (that crazy one!). We hope to host a super fun open house atmosphere of socializing and artistic banter...plus rum! Come hang...it will be certain fun! Looking forward seeing old friends and meeting new! OH!! I busted a little arce last weekend to paint up an 8' by 8' photo backdrop for Otto for all you to get your pics taken in front of...a sure Hillbilly meets Tiki thang! I am posting the rough sketch I did as to what it will be like..but the actual one is far more developed and in full color! Imagine yourself sittin' on a hay bale like a couple of hooch brewing mongrel's!! See yah at Tiki Oasis!
