THANKS Atomic Tiki Punk. Well, the big Tiki clock in the sky is ticking. We'll have food and drinks and dancing girls! Er... ok, some lovely young ladies will be serving drinks and pupus, they may or may not dance while they are doing so. That's up to them.

little lost tiki - Okay, maybe dancing girls. Well, maybe not. However, my gorgeous niece from Canada is going to come down to help out, perhaps strolling around in her swanky aura of dream-like beauty serving refreshments on a silver platter.... (but her new husband will be there too... minding da' door, he'll be da' gorilla sporting a zoot-suit, and packing a black-jack, jus' so's none o' you mooks get outa. line, ya' know? Dis' is a classy joint we're talkin' about here.) So the theme of the show (or my part of it) is this: Should be an interesting juxtaposition of art and what happens to said art after it is published. Scribble it down on your calendars... September 25th 2010! |

A L O H A Tiki Tribe! Please check out this link to a listing of the work by La Luz de Jesus Gallery, who are being so kind as to help promote the show. In this wacky economic time, I know some Tiki Tribe art patrons are looking to enhance the walls of their tiki huts with out spending a few thousand clams. So... I will also have some giclee on PAPER art prints at a lesser price for those art patrons seeking to pay more around $100 instead of ...well, a few thousand clams. All my giclee art prints are made at Honu editions here on the Big Island of Hawaii - their expert work hangs in every local museum and swank hotel lobby. Simply, they are the best on the Big Island.

A L O H A Tiki Tribe! Am I going to post a big fat photo of the finished painting that took me 3 plus months to paint? No. I'm going to be a total creep and keep it secret till OPENING NIGHT Sept 25th! So you can come on down and gawk at it in person, along with a whole bunch of other originals, some high end giclees , and even some very reasonable priced giclees on paper - all for sale, and which I will personalize to you if you so wish. http://www.laluzdejesus.com/shows/2010/Tiki-Shark/Parker2010.htm The Pirate Ship is not listed on the La Luz de Jesus Gallery site as it wasn't done yet, and it's already sold to a secret collector anyways. Now, I'm gonna try to crank out two smaller "Monsters on Vacation" pieces so I can have a whole block of 6 of them at the show..... (I hope. Pass the Red Bull please!) But come on down and take a peep at da art, and at me (yeash!) in person, before it is swept away into a secret collection never to shown to the public ever ever ever again and I am deported back to the Big Island. MAHALO! |

I am getting really motivated to try and swing by after hearing you on Cocktail Nation. Also i am hoping to bring my daughter who is an espiring artist and LOVES the Universal Monsters and I hope to show her smoth of the prints up close. Thanks for droping this show in MB, makes it pretty hard to say 'it is too far away'. Now if I can just get my hands on the check book, hmmmmmm....... |

A L O H A T I K I T R I B E ! ! little lost tiki - Thanks! U is so Right! Takes some of the sweating off! So, as you might know, I sponsor the pod cast "The Cocktail Nation" hosted by Koop Kooper. Koop is a charming suave retro cat who lives in an amazingly fabulous penthouse over looking Sydney. It is my ardent goal to one day be as cool as Koop. To that end, I've been (mostly with the help of my partner Abbas) creating a ever more SWANK life style and living / working space. I think I've made alot of progress in progressing from some of the strange digs I occupied in Hollywood and Venice to the "Swank High House in the Mist" over looking Kailua-Kona bay where I now dwell and paint. I have no idea how it will look published, but I think I'll be in the Halloween issue next month. I'll be sure to post then. Halloween is swank, right? Big ALOHA!

A L O H A T I K I T R I B E !!! Count down to the art show.... 17 days left!!!! Wait is it 17 or is it 16? er...I'm not sure. Lack of sleep muct be getting to me. Oh well, "More Red Bull" - gotta focus on what I'm getting ready today. Thursday, Sept 9th: I'm working my "day job" - a big "Tiki Shark Hawaii" beach towel order for a new client here in Hawaii. Yes, it would be nice if this would have happened AFTER the show, but we need to make deadlines for the factory. And, it's great to break into the tourist market here in Hawaii. That has taken some time. Of course, this means I'm painting late into the tropical night to get the last painting finished. This last painting may be coming with me on the plane. The Gallery in Maui just shipped the few originals they had to the venue in Manhattan Beach. I'm packing the originals I have been hording here this week end, and I'll ship them early next week. They should all arrive in Manhattan Beach in plenty time for set up. Am I a bit nervous? YES!

You may want to bring a light jacket. The weather here has been unseasonably cool with a hearty marine layer (fog) at the beach. But I am sure the show will be great. I am working to adjust some budding vacation plans to be there. (Still looking for that checkbook) |

On closer reading of the listing for the show it finally dawned on me it was " Brad's first Museum Retrospective". (!) Wow! I thought I was just showing at a really really really REALLY nice gallery... and here it was a museum! Well, big apologies to the fine folks working at the Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center for referring to your establishment as a gallery. I am completely humbled and honored (...and feel pretty dumb!) |
