Yea. It's all handmade. She also used flocking for the jacket and tie. Ever now and then Amanda will use flocking in her paintings and they look amazing. She did a great one for my Werewold Bongo Party Show. http://www.dvagallery.com/oct05.htm

I have had some people asking about the artists showing in the Tiki Show and just wanted to let those of you who didn't know, that there are still a couple pieces available from last years show. Things have been moving in the last couple weeks so here's your chance. Here is the link. Cheers,

This may seem like the geekiest question in the world, but I am neither urban, nor a regular "art" guy. What would be appropriate attire for this event, I don't want to show up in a tux if everyone is wearing aloha shirts and shorts, or vice-versa?

Thanks!

DaTiki posted on 06/07/2006

Tiki Flange posted on 06/09/2006

Tiki Tony, I love the tiki with the stand. It's got that cool, subdued creepy vibe that drew me into the whole tiki thing to begin with.

Look forward to seeing it up close and personal next week.

Big Mahalos to all who came from far and near to support the Midwest Tiki Scene! This year a tiki event in these parts will be hard to find but DvA filled in the gap. As an attending artist it was great meeting and talking to all the tiki freaks here in the Heartland. And many others who came from places like San Francisco and KC Missouri. A great opening night... looking forward to next year's event already.

And JT... there's fashionably late, and then there's late! Good luck with your busy summer!

just wanna thank dave from dva, what a great event again....got another lake surfer (crest 2) and a matt sharp painting....great stuff, too bad me and the wife were only there from 4-5 so we missed the dancers and bands, but the 3 hr. trek each way and havin dogs to let out cut our trip short....excellent work by all the artists!
