Oceanic Arts in L.A.

I was watching "Landscapers Challenge" on HGTV a couple of weeks ago and the homeowner wanted a tiki backyard. (Very cool episode and they repeat this show a lot so if you missed it keep your eyes open.) The winning designer took the homeowner to Oceanic Arts in L.A. to purchase the makings of the custom designed tiki bar and a tropical chandelier. It looked like tiki paradise to me. Has anyone been there? Is it as cool as it looks?

Yes, and then some.

Anybody got a shot from that HGTV show of that tiki bar they built for him with the surfboard top? I would love to have something like that made up.

I should do a Google before I open my big mouth :P

when I first contacted OA a few years ago, they told me they only sent their catalogue to businesses, so I sent my request on Will Vinton Studios stationary telling them we were interested in some of their stuff for a potential project. Now it looks like anybody can get the catalogue if they send 10 bucks. I'm hoping to make a pilgrimage in October when I'm in LA. I've always imagined what it must feel like to wander around there...
