ALOHA TIKI TRIBE! I was told flat out that "TIKI" was dead and would not sell in Hawaii. I'm glad to say the Wyland Kona gallery has proven that is not true. I started on a small area on a wall in the middle of the gallery, then got moved to the front, then moved to the front window area. Now I'm one of the most displayed artists (next to the big guy - Wyland - in the gallery. BIG thanks to owner Mark Hanna and his sales team for taking a chance on me and my "weirdo-low-brow poly-pop-surreal art". Big Art Show at the WYLAND KONA OCEANFRONT GALLERY.

ALOHA TIKI TRIBE! ART SHOW! The Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery was the only gallery on the Big Island that took a chance and carried my "low-brow" art when most galleries here could not be bothered. It was a up hill fight to get "tiki-art" shown here in Hawaii! Very strange, but most galleries have a tunnel vision of what tourists will buy, and do not like taking a chance on anything that has not already sold for the last 20 years. I was told flat out that "TIKI" was dead and would not sell in Hawaii. (can you even grasp what a backward mind set that is?) I'm glad to say the Wyland Kona gallery has proven that is not true.

ALOHA TIKI TRIbE! HAD A GREAT TIME at the WYKAND ~ maybe the best time so far for a local show,. But, I will always remember that first meeting Abbas (my partner/art agent) and I had with Mark Hanna the Wyland Kona gallery owner. We went into a back room, I pulled out all these originals AND some high end giclees on canvas... and I will always, always remember Mark's face.... it changed. It went from the polite (oh gosh I gotta look at ANOTHER "OKAY" painting of a Hawaiian land scape or a sea turtle...yet again, and find a nice way to tell them we already have several very, extremely, good artists painting that exact thing...) and then he saw my stuff. His jaw fell open and he got this look like a little kid gets then they sees a really cool toy robot for the first time.... It was sort of a confused look. Like "You can't Pant THAT and get away with it... can you?" [ Edited by: tiki shark art 2013-06-14 02:08 ] |

Aloha Tiki Tribe! The Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery is where it'll happen, and here's a PRESS RELEASE the local paper is running. "Wyland Oceanfront Gallery is hosting its first ever Halloween Art Exhibition for the first time in its 22 year history. The gallery will be presenting “Hawaiiween” with Big Island local favorite Brad “Tiki Shark” Parker who will be unveiling some very scary art created especially for this exciting event. Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker paints "Low Brow Art" about the Modern Tiki culture. He has worked in several types of media: writing, penciling, inking, coloring, and editing comic books such as Marvel and DC Comics. His entire line of artwork is always on display at the gallery. The festivities start at 6PM until 9:30PM Friday October 26th at Wyland Oceanfront Gallery 75-5770 on Alii Dr. at Waterfront Row. “Halloween has always been about creative ‘artsy’ costumes, yah, and we’re just taking it to the next level,” says gallery owner Mark Hanna. “This is going to be so much fun with some of the characters from Brad’s artwork coming to life in the form of costumes being worn by the staff.” There will be lots of tricks and treats and special pricing on all the fun & scary artwork on display at this special event. There will also be wine & cheese and soft drinks & pupu’s for all that attend and help judge the most creative costume." |

lunavideogames - thank you! This is the 60th year anniversary of surf brand Body Glove - So I designed a Tiki-Mug to honor that lifetime of good California surfing history! Body Glove also won first place in a surf film contest when Greg Browning, Body Glove's pro-surfer turned film maker, made a short film called "The Disappearance" about a surf team looking for the perfect wave, but find a sea creature instead. Then I made one more - "The Shark-Tiki" tiki-mug to make a limited edition set of 3. They will be for sale at this link: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=42660&forum=4&start=30&33 Limited edition my tiki brothers and sisters so.... they are going fast!

Aloha Tiki Tribe! Er -hurmph. HOWEVER, But fear not my Tiki Tribe! Now the good news! Not only did I work hard to make sure you'd get high quality for your coconut$! Each and every mug will come with an autograph card: hand-signed by the tiki-artist who designed it. (ah, that would be me) So even if you cannot make it to the big swanky event in Oct and get your mugs signed by the Body Glove folks, and meet the Body Glove Sea Creature in person, you WILL get my autograph (if you want it or not!) PLUS, ... and be quiet about this, (shhhhhh) ... I think I got the gallery to charge the same price for all the mugs even though one is EXTRA big gulp sized. It'll still be same price as the two regular sized ones - so the sea creature is not a larger price even though it is a larger mug. Hope that helps, BUT call the gallery to make sure, I just saw them yesterday and dropped off a bunch of mug info, and we got the names of the mugs and got the prices finalized. Big aloha, and thanks for your interest in my work. Brad (Tiki Shark) Parker

Holler Waller - Good question. I'm gonna' give to you as honest as I know. So obviously looking at all the preorders already hitting the gallery (boy, If the Wyland Kona Ocean Front Gallery didn't believe me about how serious the Tiki Tribe was before, they believe me now!), it looks like this first limited edition run will sell out, maybe before the October event. I have not gotten a hard fast # from Holden because "some other party" has offered to come in and purchase all of them. Before it got crazy, I think I recall Holden saying he was making 1000 Body Glove 60th Anniversary Tiki-Mugs, and 1000 Body Glove "Shark-Tiki" tiki-mugs, and 1500 Body Glove Sea Creature tiki-mugs. But that was an early set of numbers and he may have done what he could to expand to the demand. As for a second run, the problem with that is it's not up to just Tiki Farm. It's up to Body Glove , and Tiki Farm, and maybe even me (or at least my agent). So would you make a second run of 60th anniversary mugs after the 60th anniversary was over? Would you want a Body Glove Sea Creature tiki-mug still on the shelf after their advertising tie in to their award winning sea creature film was long gone? I heard Body Glove feels doubtful. So, that doesn't look like it would happen, however, I think I could talk them into a whole NEW and different set of Body Glove tiki-mugs. That's all I know for now. Hope that helps. ALOHA! BP~ |
