Finally! We are so excited to announce our showcase artist of the event! Jeff Granito has prepared an original print for the Original Tiki Market Place! We will be giving 100 away free to the first 100 paid attendees.

Because this is such an exclusive offer, the giveaway is limited to one per family. The prints are on heavy duty paper in 11x14 sizing and are ready to be framed! There will be frames available at the event from a couple of our fantastic artist-vendors!

Jeff Granito will be on hand to personally sign your print! He will also have all of his fantastic artwork with him for your shopping pleasure!

Now, for fun and to reward our Facebook, Instagram and Tiki Central followers, here is the code phrase to get yours: "Jeff Granito Rocks!"

Fret not if you are unable to be in the first hundred lucky people! There will be a limited few additional prints for sale at a reduced price during the event!

We, the Original Tiki Market Place want to thank all of the wonderful vendors that came out Saturday to show their crafts, artwork and other Tiki goodies! We also want to thank all of our guests that came out to have a good time and make the event what it is! It was great to see everyone leaving with smiles on their faces and lots of tiki goodies to take home!

I also have a big shout-out to Ken Tiki AKA Ken Hudson for giving us his painkiller recipe (that he used at his L.A. Adventurer's Club Tiki Lecture earlier this year) and allowing the Garden Grove Elks Lodge to prepare Painkillers for the masses! I spoke with many people and they all enjoyed the Painkillers as well as the Mai Tai's, and a good time was had by one and all!

Thank you to the Garden Grove Elks Lodge for once again providing a venue that allowed us to showcase so many talented vendors in an open space that provided ample aisle ways, a nice large stage in the middle to showcase the entertainment, a bar so people can Sip & Shop, and plenty of parking and just overall relaxed atmosphere!

And a super big MAHALO to my wife Karen for a greeting every single person that came through the door with a smile and a big "WooHoo!"

Yesterday's overall experience (and for all of the reasons listed above and so many more) is why Karen and I continue the great tradition of providing a venue that is focused on Tiki Vendors and Great Entertainment so that everybody has a place to get their Tiki on! Since January 2012, 52 Tiki Market Places and going strong!

We look forward to hosting you all again July 28th at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge from 10am to 3pm. Put it on your calendar today so you don't miss out on all the fun!

SAVE THE DATE!!! JULY 28TH FOR THE "SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA"

We will have Live Hawaiian Entertainment, Tasty Refreshments and Food, Ample Parking and Room to move around and "Sip and Shop" or just kick back and listen to some great music! (We are working on a special surprise act, so stay tuned!)

When we started this event in January of 2012 we had in mind the International Market Place of old...Where there was live local music and vendors under and around the Big Banyan Tree and Don the Beachcomber close by to serve food and tasty drinks. We have striven to keep our event comfortable and fun, for both our guests and the vendors. We hope you can stop by and enjoy it with us!

FREE to the first 70 paid attendees this Saturday January 12!!! An original print created for the Original TIKI Market Place by Incredible Tiki Artist Clee Sobieski!!! 11"x14" on Heavy Stock. Ready to frame and hang! There will be artist/vendors with 11x14 bamboo frames at the show!!!

Doors open at 10am....And remember, we're only 2.5 miles from Disneyland and Trader Sam's!!!

Aloha everybody!

Just picked up some new stuff today from the printer and the ceramic studio just in time for tomorrow!

I've been on a Moana kick lately, so I created a painting of one of the monsters that tries to attack her when she arrives in Lalotai (Realm of Monsters).

It's 8x10, acrylic on paper, framed and ready to hang. I'll also have prints available tomorrow!

I also created a ceramic pendant of the monster's PNG-inspired face. I then took the mold, made a face, and then sculpted a whole body for it! It's a shot glass that stands about 3.5" high. The face is glazed like the pendants, but for the body I used a cool new matte black glaze I discovered- looks awesome, but doesn't photograph well... at least with my crummy camera.

See everybody at the Marketplace!

SAVE THE DATE!!! MARCH MOAI MADNESS....

Like most people, we were taken aback with the sudden loss of an intrical and regular fixture of our Tiki community. Mr. Tiki head, AKA Andrew McClain, left us tragically this past weekend. At noon on March 9th during the Original Tiki Market Place event we will hold a moment of silence in remembrance of a person who brought smiles and happiness to so many through his creative and talented abilities to bring to life the Tiki Head art that we have all come to love. Though he graces the aisles and dance floors at parties and events no more, he will always be remembered as someone who was a bright light and positive influence in our Tiki community.

Mahalos to our friends Ashleigh and Bryan! Come down this Saturday and get your "Tiki" on!

Garden Grove Elks Lodge 11551 Trask Ave. Garden Grove, CA 10a-3p

Woo Hoo and Soccer, your event is so wonderful that I am always wishing we lived closer so we could go to every one of them. Tiki is so much fun to collect. I hope it just keeps on growing until it's almost, but not quite, mainstream.
