Nick Camara and myself will be in attendance at the Marketplace this time around. We have created the first ever Tiki inspired superhero comic called "The Islander," who makes his debut in the upcoming issue of Tiki Magazine. Nick and I will be selling prints of "The Islander" at this event. I'm driving down from Portland, OR and looking forward to checking out my first International Marketplace.

Dawn Frasier from Seattle, WA will be joining us. She is the featured artist of the new spring issue of TIKI MAGAZINE! Dawn will be flying in to make the scene and sign the new limited edition prints of the cover art. We will also have original art, prints, lamps and other new merchandise available designed by Dawn.

I have got a gut feeling that Ben is going to be playing with the light switch all the way through the event. :wink:

Didn't BamBOOBen retire last year on April 1, 2012 at the ITMP at DTB.

Here's a sign I finished up yesterday. It's 24" wide by 11" tall.
It's router carved, burnt, painted & distressed.

Fantastic work!

The DDDs! in the house! yes sir-ree

This is going to be a great event! I only hope I can make it down for some of this! Months ago I booked a big photo shoot, LONG before we knew exactly when this issue would be released. Between Viva Las Vegas and Mojave Oasis, THIS was the weekend that worked for everyone! (Well, ahem, ALMOST everyone!) And I can't bail on my photo gig commitment, so.. I just hope my shoot doesn't last all day long!
