A lite -up bar sign for your home bar!! measures 10.250" X 12.625" by 4" wide...features red plexyglass face with graphic on the inside....lit by a 15 watt bulb (maximum wattage -and it's plenty bright) framed in split bamboo and painted using fleck-spray stone effect paint. The back is removable to replace the bulb and has heat vents as well.....four rubber feet protect whatever surface the sign sits on......sign stays red when not lit. That "hot spot" you see from the bulb is not visible when lit....the sign has an even glow throughout..unfortunately my camera is picking up on the hot spot, but believe me it's not there when you see it through your own eyes.

NOT FOR SALE!!

The sign is a Tiki Farm mug. Are there rights to the use of that?

it is a mug by tiki farm, but that design is not theirs either... they got it from another source too.....i found it as part of the clip art in the grog log by beachbum berry.....i think the beach bum got it from a vintage menu....does anyone here know the history of that tiki image?? i think we all would be curious......

..and that said, maybe holden would like to buy or trade me something for it!!

Actually, it's artwork by Kevin Kidney. Kevin did a lot of the artwork in Jeff Berry's books. It's a character he created called Miehana, he originally designed it for an exhibition many years ago on the history of tiki in southern California; it has since become Kevin Kidney's trademark tiki piece, and as mentioned, a very successful tiki mug. While I'm sure he'd be flattered that you like his work, he's also understandably very protective of it.

:oops:

wow..i love that tiki!! but out of respect for kevin, i must no longer offer this for sale.....it really has that vintage look.

..sorry folks!! I can't sell another artists image.......

Sell it to Kevin!

Better yet, trade it for one o' the cool things he makes!

I knew you'd understand, Tipsy. Kevin's a victim of his own success -- he's got an incredible knack for capturing a vintage feel! He'll probably be tickled that you made the mistake.

if he were interested i'd probably trade......but i'll most likely keep it for my home bar and as a sample lite box for future projects...

Hey, if you ever get to the point where you can make a bunch quickly, easily, and affordably, I'd LOVE to have 'em in my shops! They really are quite excellent!

Kool lamps!!

here's another lamp up for sale!! Stands 16" tall with a 9"dia. shade.... tikis are made of hand-painted ceramic on a wooden lamp base. comes with a red 25 watt bulb, new shade.....on/off switch located on the socket...

Great idea..diggin it.

Taking something you do and putting a twist on it, coming out with something new. That looks like a gallery piece.

that is by far the coolest and most twisted thing I've ever laid eyes on.

thanks for all the kind words!!

yesssssss!

that is by far the coolest and most twisted thing I've ever laid eyes on.

I take it U haven't seen FreddieBALLSomic with the 3 Contuortionists..........HaHaHaaaaa
Great work as always, Dave. Maholla!!!

,,Thanks all!!...The shrunken head wall hanging is spoken for......Mitch o'connell wants them....plus, he wants me to make another one and somehow figure out how to make them light up!! ...Tall order, so i better get to work on it.....i'll post pics of both pieces here when they are finished so you folks can see what i did....

I thought they did light up, cause so much of your other stuff does. I was wondering why we didn't get a good lite pic. Sounds like they are going to a great home.

if you check out mitch's website, you can see the home they are going to...there is a virtual tour on the site that shows you every room...he has 4 of my shrunken head swag lamps in there as well....
