ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
I'm so happy with how the "Sam Choy Hawaiian Kitchen" Towels came out!
"The Choy of Towel Art!"
So, we showed these to Chef Sam Choy this morning at his restaurant. Sam just got in from Oahu, where he spent yesterday at the
Polynesian Cultural Center - they want him to open something there, and he told me he talked to them about my art. (Thanks Uncle Sam Choy!)
I could tell he was a little tired, but he was very happy with the towels - and he kept looking down at them during the meeting with our mainland
reps. and my agent Abbas (& me).
Sam knew what I was going for: that I was putting Tiki-Art & Polynesian Tattoo Art into Kitchen Accessories - which no one's ever tired before.
He liked it, the Reps liked it. So, next step is to get it in front of a bing chain buyer and see if THEY like it too. You might be able to go out to a
main-stream store near you (where ever you are) like a Targets, or a Macy's, ...or what ever, and buy these! ( One day… who knows?)
Remember the Ink drawing of Chef Sam Choy?
The Finished Ink Drawing of Chef Sam Choy cooking over the volcano, with the Tiki Bar in the foreground is now framed and in my local Gallery. It's got a custom St. Louis Burrell wood frame that looks like Lava. Now' it's at The Kona Oceanfront Gallery. Auction is this Friday. They are already talking bids. Partial proceeds will go to local charity. I hear it's
up to around 4.5 K! (wow!)
Big Mahalo to everyone who's helped on this project!
