This leads me to believe there might be a source for fun and appropriately Tiki/Hawaiiana themed kitchy art for our Tiki bars... Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, I did try to search and didn't find anything about a source. Mahalo

Get them to tell you who/where. VERY reasonable price. The ultimate gift, I should think: the person's portrait on black velvet. And how fun would that be to have yourself painted as a sexy, half-naked island wahine (or kane)! "Wow, Formikahini - that sexy, half-naked island wahine hanging looks just like YOU, except she has dark skin and dark hair! What a coincidence!" :wink:
