SurfBEAT group art show!

I guess you two can hang some stuff....
but only as a warning and example to others
of the detrimental effects of wannabe disease! :lol:

I stopped by the Gallery today to talk to Steve about my dj ing for the event, and pick up some flyers, and was able to spy some of the art pre hung,

WOW !! this is gonna be an off the hook show.

also not on the Flyer, but his Photography will be there.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

thanks Kenny,

its tru its tru. but not to worry. i have learnt my lesson. no more gigantic art shows for me!

in all sincerity folks, Kenny has been invaluable as a wall-composition consultant (unless you hate your spot on the wall, then its ALL ME!). it' been truly mind-bottling to see the show that is going up (You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?)

a hui ho!

Toe-nail

If you tap me on the shoulder Saturday night and ask me , I will be willing to sell this limited edition of widower tiki neclaces . All are numbered and signed by me on the back . I hope you like them and now I have to add on the "Mr. T style gold chains . hahaha

"The mangina"! NOOOOooooooooo..... :o

Holy Carp! we spent ANOTHER 5 hours hanging last night, with under-the-wire drop-offs from Phil Roberts, Rick Reitveld, Meghan Besmirched, Doug Horne (thanks Grog & John!), Carson, Augie Pagan and the JAW-DROPPING Crazy Al #141, which is quite possibly the most stunning tiki sculpt ever!! I'd show it to you here, but Crazy Al threatened to put a JuJu curse on me if i did.

Now if we can just get those dang Germans and Canadians thru customs we will be good to go!

alohas, Toe-jam

Will there be room for people at the show, or will we all just have our faces pressed against the window saying OOOOooooooooo!

Wow, I can't wait to see the show it all it's glory-the hanging of such a huge show is a work of art unto itself!

Thanks to The Light Gallery, Steven, Big Toe, Candy, Little Lost Tiki, Clydesdale and everyone who volunteered their time to make this happening show happen!

I was so glad to see that Big Toe and Little Lost got a chance to chill out on the beach with a little 'us time' after so many hours of work!
You deserve it boys! Looking good!

See you crazy kids Saturday!

Break a leg tonight, guys; I don't care who's....

It was a great show. Tons of art. Tons of people.

Mad props to bigtikidude for creating the perfect atmosphere.

Here's what I bought. Surf Moderne by Ken Ruzic.

I had a great time last night!! It was cool to hang with everybody. Oh my god there was some killer art and lots of it. I highley recommend to pay a visit to the light gallery before the show is over. I think I am going back because there was alot to take in. Big Tiki Dude was tearing it up on the turntables too!!

Sorry GROG couldn't make it, but the Blue Dick Hawaiian Surfer Dales were playing at the Purple Tonga Orchid Hut last night.

A late addition to the show by Andres Serrano.

"Piss Fink"

( I hand delivered it for him :)

head...hang-over...jack-hammer...pain...no mas mojito!!

a huge MAHALO to all the artists and friends who attended our little show opener last night. In particular to BigTikiDude Jeff for the PERFECT mix of tikxotica!

I also want to apologize for your patience with the goof-ball screw-up of not having labels on the artwork until closing time...as Kenny extorted, "DANG ROOKIE CURATORS!!!"

I dont blame Grog for boycotting.

but at the end of the day, it was a big fun event and i think Tiki-Kate and Hipahipa-Kelly walked away with the great art pick-ups of the night

alohas, bT

Oh and another thank you to Ben for draining the piss before delivered the Piss Fink...will be less messy when the expanding glass blows the air-tight plexy glass box open!!!!!

Amazing time...some of the best art I've ever seen....thanks to everyone who came out and those who didn't should really try and stop in over the next few weeks. Toe and Candy did a great job of collecting the best of the best.....

Need to sleep now...but here area few photos and a link to my flickr set from the event..
