I Agree! You do need one! Heck, You DESERVE one!! You all do! Every Tourist should! Every local should too! I want to increase the quality of souvenirs being sold in Hawaii. For too many years I've seen the same old, sad, tired, re-used designs being cranked out by the same companies. These designs do not reflect the swanky hipster Tiki-Art Renaissance going on in many other parts of the world! Sadly, Hawaii itself, largely lacks the awareness of "Tiki-Culture!' I was asked to lecture at the "University of Hawaii" on "Tiki Culture". I'm happy to say the lecturer was packed to standing-room-only, extremely well received! The young students (and many adult students) of Hawaiian ancestry had no idea how their own Heritage has inspired and invigorated pop-culture / counter-culture & Kustom-Kulture around the world! I'm designing four Beach Towels in partner ship with K C Hawaii. Four of what I hope are a set of Low-Brow Tiki-Art Beach Towels so magnificent that the buyers for local retail chains won't be able to say "No" to them. If they do well, we'll move on and do more. All kinds of new stuff! BEACH TOWELS: Set # 1 should be: "Beyond The Reef","The Moon of Manakoora","Tiki Cat" and "Forbidden Island". If you would like to urge on the production of these beach towels, Drop K.C Hawaii a letter to let them know you are excited about this rumor you heard about them making Brad Tiki-Shark Parker "Tiki-Art" Souvenirs! What can swanky stuff can you get? Let 'em know you'd buy these towels if you saw them on the shelfs, and ask them when, and where, will they will be available for sale! Folks, It's hard to change the way people have been doing things. Especially in business, where money is on the line. "NEW" can be scary! So, boost the confidence of K.C. Hawaii, and let them know there ARE people looking to buy new hipster-style products, not just the same old stuff you saw on your last 6 vacations to Hawaii all featuring the same old Hula girl & or happy dolphins - you know the ones - we've seen for the last 40 years! K C Hawaii has never actually made Beach Towels - so they could use some encouragement to go up against the other souvenir towel manufacturers. Send your letters to: K.C. Hawaii Sales Department 98-023 Hekaha Street, #111 Aiea, Hawaii 96701 Other than that , I will always post here, and in the Tiki Market place on TC, when new TIKI-SWAG comes out! ALOHA and THANS!
