Thank you all for your comments and please keep them coming!

There was a very cool Tiki Vending Machine in this show from Muntiki, however, it was Sold and whisked away before we had a chance to photograph it! This machine created a huge line-up and caused the city of Palm Springs to run out of quarters (just kidding about the quarters). It is very difficult for us to take photos or art submitted for group shows due to the volume of art. It is the artists responsibility to provide jpegs to the gallery prior to the start of the show. This does not always happen for a variety of reasons. That being said, we make every attempt to photograph the merchanidise that jpegs are not supplied for. With the tiki vending machine, the couple that purchased it wanted it to be kept classified and have moved to their undisclosed private tropical island paying homage to the Tiki Gods and basking in seclusion. The only time they see the mainland now is to restock the machine as the UPS Boatman can not find this island on his radar screen (I really need to start getting some sleep).

Maybe Muntiki can post a picture of this great machine on this post if they have one. That would be way cool!
