Thanx 4 the kind words hiltiki …
Got up while it was still dark out and did the LAVA 103 morning drive show again to promote the "BEST OF THE WEST" Group art show Saturday night.

Had gallery owner Mark Hana and last years (voted the BEST Artist of the west side of the BIG ISLAND) Alex Gupton with me.
We had some wacky fun saying' if Alex was voted the "Best of the West" then I could be .."the Worst of the West"?
Oh boy, give a low-brow Tiki Artist like me some silly-ness like THAT and we'll run-with-it, for sure!!
When the DJ asked if we had any "NEW" art, I asked "NUDE Art? Hmmm…. no not really, except I paint in the nude. You mean like that?"
Well started there, got much sillier, and soon it became the longest spot I'd ever done on the morning drive show, and we were all laughing at our own nutty-ness.
Basically. I think Alex and I were punchy from being artists & having to get up so darned early!!…
But, guess the the show was a huge hit with every one else too, and the station was extremely pleased with just how funny "those guys from the Art gallery are."
My agent, Abbas, said he got a really nice e-mail from the Station manger, saying how well the show went, and he wants to "take us out for coffee next week."
I think he wants to have us come on every Friday… who knows.
But… No time for dat, gotta' make da' Tiki ART!

I'm gonna try and get a mp3 file of it.

Hey, either I'm getting really OLD, or this Tiki fan just got outa' the military cause he kept calling me "sir" !?

The "rug rats" in the background were his kids - Really nice guy and mega cute and awesome kids!
