Kustom Tiki Kill Kill!
Category: Monster Island
“A Canopic Cocktail for the Mummy”14” X 25”, Pencil and pastel on paper, frame by Roger Eric Brittan.
This is number 4 of 12 subjects for the show on May 27th in Melbourne.

In 1921, amid the dusty bustling backstreets of Cairo, a little known tiki bar welcomed thirsty travelers from the world over. “The Isle on the Nile”, most famous for it’s “Canopic Cocktail” would also occasionally host a guest peculiar to some but very familiar to the resident bartender. Legend has it Imhotep was resurrected only once from the dead, desperately seeking his lost love Ankh-es-en-amon, but locals knew the call of sweet rum libations from the south seas often tempted Imhotep from his tomb. So delighted was he by his favorite polynesian style watering hole, he dragged down a curtain on his way out one night only to return the following week having refreshed his 3,000 year old bandages with a spiffy tapa pattern. Unfortunately “The Isle on the Nile” fired Imhotep’s favorite bartender, a poor decision resulting in a rampage so lengendary it would be turned into a movie by Universal Pictures.
