Strychnin Gallery Tiki Xmas Show

Any other folk out there contributing to the Strychnin Gallery Tiki Xmas exhibition in Berlin? I'm doing a couple of pieces for the show and wondered if I would see any familiar faces there...

Turns out that a whole bunch of familiar faces and great people are showing at this event:

And the aftershow looks amazing too!

Anyone going?

I'll be there as a fan and a contributor.

Graham from Strychnin Gallery here!

We wanted to post here about the show, but as there is already an existing thread, I'll add to this. The latest news is that Shag is planning to come over to Berlin for the show, and Sven A. Kirsten will be selling and signing TIKI MODERN and TIKI STYLE.

I'll keep adding more info and images of the pieces as we get them :) Hope that some of the Tiki Central members can make it to the show!

i've got some low rez sneak peeks of what my shots for the strychnin show up on flickr:

This is the facebook gallery of the works for this show in progress...

I'll put pictures of the finished pieces up when they're ready to ship but this is sort of a DVD extra for those who are interested.

Well... Here's one of the pieces for the show, all finished after much wrestling.

It's called No Room At The Inn and it will be on show at the Xmas Luau.

Hope you dig it!

Hi everyone!

The work for the "X-Mas Luau" has started to arrive, and it all looks amazing! We recieved Shag's 3 pieces this week, as well as Ukes and paintings from Los Furias Tiki and Heather Watts, and Thorsten Hasenkamm's piece - there's still a bunch more to come, including work from KRK Ryden...

It's going to be an awesome show - hope some Tiki Central members can make it to the show (come and say "hi" at the bar if you do :wink:

The work on show for this event is great!

Check out the gallery:

I'm absolutely looking forward to this event. I guess I'll also make a little expedition to all these places with a Tiki-touch in Berlin that are on Critiki...

That was a fun event! It was nice to see some of my oldest friends in Tikiland come together. I have been living a bi-continental Tiki life for so long, and rarely do American and European Tikilanders meet. And we had folks from Ireland and Austria make the trek. Kudos for all. Here are some pics:

The weather in Berlin: Cold, dark and rainy, perfect for a Tiki escape:
