Here's the new cover art: It shows off the new ad we placed at the Gift Mart in down town LA -we covered the elevator doors with a big version of "Secret Cove"! It should look really classy, and get retail-store buyers to go the the show room in the Gift Mart that is showing our line of Tiki-Products… ( I hope ) Here's how the new "page 2" came out - boy oh boy exciting stuff!! I can hardly stand the excitement of making a brochure! Ha! ( whoopee! ) Yeah, all the small advertising work, and brochures & sales material… OK, it's not the super glamorous part of being a "Tiki-Artist" trying to get yer Tiki Art out into the world and pay yer bills all at the same time, but… Jeepers Creepers, it's all got to be done. By somebody. And that somebody is me, I guess. Anyways, looks kinda cool. Here's something that is a bit more cool & swanky… A color scheme for the factory to follow when they create the Tiki-Toys. I wanted a nice "woody - calm-color-scheme". With the letters and a few little details in gold. The souvenir company already has some really bright tiki figures out on the shelves here in Hawaii, and I think they might be ah… a bit too colorful. (?) So, I wanted to do subdued, more natural, and soothing on the eyes - type o' hues. These Tikis are wacky toys that you can spin around till they stop on "PONO" (good) or "LOLO" (crazy) to tell your "Fortune"! Kinda' the Hawaiian Souvenir version of the old "8-Ball" toy. So, I thought "that's a whole bunch of kookiness, and bright colors could be over-kill." I'm still very interested to see if the factory can actually make these "Spinning Fortune-Telling-Tikis" work. They say "Yes,they can" …we shall see. I have all the original pencil drawings, and I want to frame them for my Art show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery next summer. By then, the Souvenir company will have the Tiki-Toys done. Oh boy, I thought! How cool would it be to see the finished souvenir Tikis on display along side the concept drawings for da' Art show! I'd like dat. I've always thought toys are "Art". I'd like to give each Tiki-Toy in that art show a special paint job too - just to make them super-ultra-unique! Could be neat, fun, stuff….stay tuned Tiki Tribe! [ Edited by: tiki shark art 2015-07-07 01:25 ]
