Aloha Tiki Tribe~

So February 20th is "LOVE YER PET DAY!"

Really.

Some one sent me an e-mail saying that, so, jeepers, it's gotta' be true.
Plus~ on New Years I adopted a very very happy little dog.

Therefore, if you check out http://www.tikishark.com you'll find some Pet-ticularly swank sales!

Like a couple more of these unique hand painted stand-up "tikis"

After I had such fun painting the first stand-up TIKI, I went hunting for more cause I was pretty sure I had seen some unpainted jobs in a box...

...somewhere.
In a box that was 'under' the studio part of the house... I discovered some more wooden stand-up tikis.

Yep, I was crawling around under the house.
Under the Tiki Art Studio through old scuba tanks, boxes I had not opened since the move to the Big Island, a plastic milk crate full of CD's I forgot I had - almost a complete collection of KISS, White Zombie to Rob Zombie, and Alice Cooper albums, and 'HOO-RAY!!" ...that CD of the best of Gene Rains I thought I'd lost!

All the while my new dog, "Mister Kanji", was running around thinking, like everything else, it was some new kinda' dog & human game.
(you gotta' LOVE little happy dogs)

Most of da' houses in da' tropics stand-up off da' ground in case of heavy rains
(which happen briefly about every other day)

I guess raised dwellings are supposed to help keep big fat island rats an' other vermin out. But, boy, THAT does not work.
I made sure "Mister Kanji" didn't eat any of these we found, but it was difficult searching and getting a face licking at the same time.

...or lava flows.
(which happen not quite so often)

Anyways, check out da' web site for new drawings, I'm working on a painted skate deck, I got three canvases going right now, and such...
(OH yeah! A new Meso-American tiki mug - being designed with my favorite Mexican/Hawaiian tiki-artist in the works!)

Big ALOHA & happy "PET-LOVER DAY" from me & my new adopted pal "Mister Kanji" !
