Aloha Tiki Tribe!~
We had da' big debut party of "The CHEF SAM CHOY HAWAIIAN KITCHEN" Accessories Line, has finally happened!
(Whew!) Glad that's over - it was FUN, but also a lot of WORK!
I hit a wall - could not SEE what I WANTED!
The ideas were not flowing…
My "Low-Brow Art Muse" was alluding me…
What was I missing?
The Mayor of the big Island, saw my first versions of designs, and said they did not say:
"SAM CHOY" or "the Island of HAWAII" or "Brad"Tiki-Shark" Parker"! I had to re-do them all!
Then I had my epiphany!
So then I decided to design them Not like Kitchen Towels, but like TATTOO ART!
My low brow - Tiki Tattoo designs started to work!
My crew of helper's and Ohana really made it happen. Could not have done it with out them!
We talked about it on the local morning radio with SAM CHOY, gallery owner MARK HANA and me.
Then, we did even MORE talking on MORE local radio with SAM, Ukulele playing singer Aidan James, and me.
Then Chef Sam Choy and me made it in the local NEWS PAPER at the same time!
Reps and buyers from all over the place - the islands, the state, the mainland, and over-seas, they all came to check it out!
Folks REALLY liked the "Tribal Tattoo" look of my designs.
Last I heard, the folks from the "ABC stores" in Hawaii, ...like it.
And, then I heard The K-MART buyers Really Liked the LINE, and, had bought the line FOR SURE! - and will sell it in K-MARTS all over!
Had a marketing meetings with my agent, and world champion Surfer Jamie O'brian, and me.
Things went really well after that! …
As the Sun Sinks into the Big Blue… you should be able to get them near you …ah …. soon!
