The Lurid low-brow Tiki-Art of Brad (tiki-shark) Parker - Other Crafts

Once Again I have to say a big Mahalo to Billy Shire for all his guidance and support on my path as a low-Brow Tiki-Artist. Hanging at La Luz De Jesus Gallery is a mile-stone in my career, and a huge honor. What happened later, after the opening, was even more exciting. The curator called my agent and said a European Collector had placed a larger bid on one of the already sold pieces. Seems this collector is big-time, and heavy-duty. This might introduce my work into a new realm of the Art World. My Agent, of course said, "What? A Big Time Art collector from Europe? Hmmm… Sure! Brad will paint another one for the first buyer and we'll make it all work out no worries!" And happily enough it wasn't a problem. The first buyer was one of my first mentor's and he was only too happy to see his student raise a bit higher in the art world - as it reflects well upon him by cranking out such well received off spring (as it were). "The Red Tiki Lounge" 24" x 30" Acrylic on canvas. Still don't know who this European Collector is. Seems he never only purchase one piece, and then (I would hope) shows off his new "discovered" tiki-artist's work to his other horribly wealthy European Art-collector friends. Oh, I can imagine some swanky cocktail party, in a giant manner house, or maybe a castle, and a cool suave Art Collector describing "The Red Tiki Lounge" to his friends… "This artist… he lives on a active volcano! …and sez he only paints what he sees!" But, like da' guy would say it in French ya' know! European, hmmm…. I guess that means they look like this? Anywho... Big Aloha! Try to swing by La Luz before July 27th and check it out! ALOHA!
