hey kids!

this is so gratifying...if this was an online diary i'd do a blow by blow but i have a policy that posting too much is a bit kookoo-che-koo...

danny's frame did hurt my back...now i have a gimpy leg that curses my injured identity with a pegleg stride...his carving is SO BEAUTIFUL...thanks so much danny for your bllod sweat and tears at 6AM the day of the show TIKI DIABLO - you rule man!...as it turns out i was SO late for the show with my whole family in tow from the tiki ti that i failed Danny's framework...he didn't make the wall the night of the opening (i am a total weiner!)...though this weekend i'll post some picks of the frame on an original that Sirginn (BIG UPS BIG BOY) bought days before the show...the tiki tree (with the drunk primate cast) thanks S&C...you totally inspire me...HUMU U 2 dude...beautiful to see you at the tiki ti and at the gallery...after leaving the tiki ti navigating my people across town was totally bunk...san diegans driving in LA???

i want to thank every one that came down to culver city that night to see what i had put together in preparation for the show with their own eyes - in person. i kept hearing "congratulations" and it was SO COOL for me to see that the internet can provide a warm introduction to people that you actually JIVE with in some regard. you were ALL SO NICE and i SO got off on your enthusiasm...(one piece was stolen right off the wall! thank god it was a poopy one)

everyone i have met here has been a great blessing to me and my family...

thanks for your sincere interest in my artistic efforts. i look forward to seeing many of you on May 8th at the "I Dream of Tiki" show at Mmodern Gallery in Palm Springs ...as well as at my next solo show on December 11th at the same venue ....or maybe at my next Copro Nason opening (date to be determined)

thanks for all your support Tiki Central! especially you chikitiki...you are the man!
