A Dawn Fraiser original design Aloha shirt changed my life !!

A few weeks ago when I was wearing it for the first time at Don's, actress Kate Flannery of "The Office" spotted me and asked if I had an agent. (That's her on the right, Jungle Ginger is on the left).

Kate is working on a treatment for a cable TV sitcom based on the wacky escapades at a neighborhood Tiki bar. Think of it kind of like a Tiki "Cheers". She was at Don's doing research. Based on my shirt, she said I looked perfect for one of the roles.

Keep your fingers crossed for me. :)

If you too want to change your life, buy a Sophista-tiki product !!

JOHN-O posted on 07/09/2011

OK so I might have embellished that story a little (or a lot). 3 things are true:

  1. That was Kate Flannery of "The Office".

  2. I looked fabulous in the shirt that Dawn made.

  3. And you will too !! :)

Dawn, I'm not real good at that sort of thing but this one has a different feel than most of your other pieces - different colors, cropped much tighter. Very nice, is that an intentional departure from your "signature style"? And, I have to know what the banner says :)

S
Sophista-tiki posted on 10/26/2011

not necessarily. It's more like things I USED to do before I spent a yr painting only in blues and greens. ( which I did mostly because Kinny said I couldn't do it!). Watercolors are my natural habitat so its much easier for me to use all the colors.
I am not the one who really claimed what my "signature style" was. I just paint on one theme, subject,or color scheme until I feel like I'm done with it and them move on. They're all part of the bigger picture.

that being said The yr spent painting in acrylics has made my watercolors better. All the pieces I've done this week are for my M Modern show, ( Dec 7, now) and they all have the feel I've always wanted my watercolors to have. A real old school loose quality.
