I cannot seem to find his art prints available anywhere and i love his tiki art. For now i have his pics as wallpaper. If you would like to have some great wallpaper please go to http://www.kooch-e-koo.com as these can be seen in full size and saved or made directly as wallpaper by doing a right click. click on the little tiki to get the tiki style images. Also i have yet to get my first shag and i read these forums everyday to see if anyone knows about new releases. A hearty hello to all tiki lovers, i really enjoy reading your posts and have already learnt a lot and have had a good laugh as well

Said "Yeah sounds good" but then never called him back... ~Hanford

We're finalizing the finished art (same for the poster and the t-shirts) - they will be awesome! They'll be ltd. to small runs and affordable (still working out the prices but the t-shirts shouldn't be more than $12.50 and I don't even have a clue on the posters but we'll do our best to keep the costs down!

Maybe we can stay in touch THIS way, how nice! How about that Book of Tiki Aloha shirt...? It is not flakeyness folks, but priorities that determine some artists' output, which are just like everybody else's: 1.) Makin' a livin' 2.) making a relationship work 3.) pursuing what you're into ..and not being the egocentric artiste that just cares about their "work". ..wait...this is not an attempt to justify that my WITCO book is not progressing, dammit, but life's little distractions do have to do with it...

I haven't seen that dude in years. I think The last time I saw him was at a Exoticon event in L.A. quite a few years back. He is super cool, funny and talented. Good to hear he is still pokin' around. I have seen some of his cars in person, but not in the last fifteen years. I am sure they are mind blowin' You see him around frequently? Shag also is a really nice guy. I never met him in person but we had a few emails and he made some good comments about some of my art. He came across as a very decent fellow. I cant wait to see some of the stuff you are coming out with. Keep the TC ohana in the loop and thanks for the reply. Chongolio

I faintly remember that he use to sell serigraphs of that on his website. Am I dreaming or did it actually happen? I just wanted to clarify.

S sirginn Member Sunset Cliffs , CA Joined: Oct 20, 2003 Posts: 296	S sirginn Posted posted on Sun, Jul 15, 2012 9:12 AM Monitors, You are correct, several years ago Miles made that painting for Mike and Mike at the Ti, and Danny "tiki diablo" did the killer frame. The night of the presentation there were prints of both "tiki Ti" as well as the very large "tapa" available. That was the night Miles got to add his name to the wall! That was a long time ago, not sure if Miles or the Ti have any left, but it never hurts to ask. I was fortunate to score each of the prints. If I remember correctly, Humuhumu also got a "tiki Ti" print that she had Danny frame in a similar manner.
