and CLOSED! - Worldwide Online Tiki Art Show

nice of Aloha Station to scoop the sale, does that mean he's booted off this thread???

I tried to take a photo by candle light of my art piece surrounded by some of my favorite tikis, but all the camera picked up was this mysterious blob...

The massive amount of aloha spirit must be interfering with the film somehow. I hope I can get this to work in time...

yikes! i think that is the ghost of Xmas past!!!

Maybe its the ghost of my desecrated Christmas ornaments...

I've still got 40 min... Maybe I'll try one last-ditch attempt to revive them.

Artists, prepare yourself for an important announcement from Cammo...

Buzzy Out!

BigToe is ready to go!

Countdown - 10 minutes!

So I'll go over the rules one last time.

Artists will be showing one or two items right here on this thread, PLUS one Christmas Ornament each. The have between 6pm and 9pm Pacific Coast US Time to post.

If you'd like the piece, just PM the artist.

First to PM gets it.

The artist and buyer work out their own shipping/payment terms, then it will be marked sold.

Artists will try to keep their prices to less than half the gallery sales price.

The Christmas Ornaments we're doing are really just for fun - I've already put about 10 clams and 2 1/2 hours of work into mine!

Hope everybody is ready...

READY???

Ya still got's time Heather...The way I read it, posting is from 6 pm through 9 pm for artists...you still got 3 hours if you want to look at it that way....Yay! The boss is finally letting me go home from the day job.

This is going to be FUN! See you soon...

PS. Oops...Cammo and I were posting at the same time...yeah, what he said -

If you've been following this thread, you know my piece is "tiki vandalism" practiced on some sort of ancient thrift-store artifact...

After pic to come shortly! Oh, the suspense!

Let me say that I feel very honored to participate in the Inaugural World-Wide Online Tiki Art Show, thank you Cammo. With the caliber of artists represented, I feel a bit like the missionary invited for dinner at the Cannibal’s Ball

Shows over folks I have moved mine over to my thread Thanks for looking!

[ Edited by: Chongolio 2008-12-22 23:05 ]

Extremely nice

Item #1

A one off hand glazed Tiki mug. The third one I have made so far. It's to commemorate the second anniversary of the San Diego Tiki Factory, which made its(my) debut at Tiki Oasis 6 in May of 2006. Yes it's a few months past the anniversary, but that just means that now it is technically "vintage."

Here's the mug:

It features a relief sculpt of the tiki face that I use for my official logo. It's based on a early carving I did of the tiki located at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Diego

The tiki has a big bling chain on it

homage to the Tiki Bob mug with the yellow ring around the white background

That's not wood: It's clay glazed to look like wood:

Chock full of info:

I chose blue for the interior so that it would match Charger colors with the yellow chain. More San Diego tributes...

It also comes with this limited edition matsching resin pendant, hand signed and numbered. It's #1 of 10 and has never been offered for sale

Bling chain included

And that's not all, the purchaser will also receive this big pile of Tiki Factory stuff

It includes some pictures, postcards, and a resin keychain

Gallery price: I'm too much of a miser to let someone else profit from my work, so there is no such thing as a gallery price for me

Artist's price: $500
Actual price: $95

Next item is a CocoJoes lava plaque inspired piece made from clay. It's about 9" by 6"

Artist's price: $80
Actual price: $65

Last is the Xmas ornament. Pick any one of these guys for $20 and hang it on your tree. After xmas, put the supplied cord on it and wear it as a pendant to your favorite Tiki bar or event:

Ceramic pendant/ornament also includes free hook to hang it on your tree with

Only one of these will be sold in this show, so after the first one goes, the pricees go up and they will not be offered for sale again until much later in the year.

Any purchase will also include a guest pass for a free meal good at any of the following locations: Old Country Buffet, Ryan's Grill Buffet Bakery, Hometown Buffet, Fire Mountain Hot off the grill, or Country Buffet. Actual retail value of this freebie will vary according to location.

Buzzy Out!
