Aloha Tiki Tribe,
If you did not hear, a major painting of mine was pirated, and sold on hundreds of gift items on line by some one else with out my knowledge.
Because of this, I lost a big sale.
Thanks everyone for all your support and Aloha, it really means a lot to me.
I kid around ...but this is kinda' tough.
Here's the news..

Gosh, I wish Damon would have used a more dignified photo of me instead of me doing the HULA at the big Body Glove 60th Anniversary party! HA! Oh well! Aloha!
It made it on line here too: http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/11/04/62592.htm
And this sale of tiki art towels that got nixed... this was my one big order.
I finally got noticed by a really big retail co. Who could place a really big order.
I thought "Wow, I might have really done it, finally..."
But oh well...
FATE.
Now, that's gone. I may never get there again.
I'm trying not to be heart broken. JUST Be happy I am still making art... but sometimes... it's hard.
Breath... in out...
A-lo-ha!
Trying to keep the ALOHA...

"OK. Dats it! To quote a famous, pissed off Hawaiian: "No more "Aloha-Aloha" for you!!"
Time to call the freakin' lawyers!"
