Really, my lawyer sends me e-mails, ….and I know they are in English ….and I know I can read. ...but I still have no idea what they say. They are written in some sort of Lawyer-Secret Code… and no guy on da' street can ever figure out what they say, mean, or are about. Well, at least I can't! " Did this ever come to an end? Can you fight city hall, er Café-Press? Anyway, Good luck.
TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Sat, Jun 29, 2019 10:59 PM It did end. It was a legal battle royal like none ever seen in this little town. Things got darned crazy - you would not believe what happened. The mouse that roared. The tiki tribe, locally and internationally, came to my rescue big time. In the end we signed "a paper" where in I cannot tell you exactly what happened, who got what, how it was resolved, but it was to all parties mutual satisfaction or at least all significant parties cried "Uncle" by the end. Mahalo for asking.
T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Sun, Jun 30, 2019 4:42 AM Good for you sounds like you got something. Art like yours can be just flat out reproduced and ripped off over and over even mugs. Think about just the tikibob that has been done a lot. If that guy ever knew how many times that little mug would be copied he would flip, and yet we don't even know the name of the guy who first made tikibob, do we. Poor guy got no money, no credit. I think it's almost worst to loose any credit for your work than it is the money, to me. But then for you it is how you make a living. It's funny how if you copy a Shag the whole world falls apart and goes ape $hit, But copy some other guy and it's no big deal. Lights are a bit harder to rip off but it's the ideas that get used and that goes on a lot in the tiki world and is kinda ok, same with mugs and carvings. It's when you take an idea and beat the guy who came up with the art out of selling his stuff that's when it starts to get not so ok. That's the very reason I don't do many how toos anymore. When I'm dead do as you wish I say. I have made dead on copies of a few Kahiki items like the table lamps, that guy has to be dead, and I made only a few. But good luck, your art is great! And they can't take away your abilities and skills.
TR Tiki Republic Tiki Centralite Mesa, Arizona Joined: Oct 27, 2013 Posts: 96	TR Tiki Republic Posted posted on Sun, Jun 30, 2019 8:39 AM Brad, my work is trademarked. Is there anything else that you'd recommend? Mahalo in advance, Pierre
TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Sun, Jun 30, 2019 9:50 PM Trade Mark is a darned good thing to do. Copyrights are a darned good thing to do. now, American law says every piece of art is automatically copyrighted to the artist who made it. Period! In a perfect world that would be enough. But, sigh, things are not perfect. The biggest problem is technology is changing FAST. I was told, by a fed, that the FEDS just could not keep up with the internet and every single case of every artist being ripped off on line. They didn't have the man power. However, the other edge of that sword is things are changing fast and folks are quickly catching up every day. Many of these on line business's of selling merchandise on line, NOW have rather easy systems to report someone who is selling something they should not. So if you see your work on line, before you call that expensive lawyer, take the time to check out the web site and see where you report copyright infringements. Good Luck and ALOHA!

Check out may latest artist-blog-post - it's all bout the creation of the "KAAN TOOK" Tiki Mug. Visit : https://facebook.com/Brad-Tiki-Shark-Parker-643256965774734 • KAAN TOOK - this project started as an artist-jam with my best art-buddy also living on the big Island... Jacob Medina - Jacob Medina is a Tiki Artist of Mexican heritage livin' on the big island of Hawaii & painting Tiki Art with a heavy "Dia de los Muertos" flavor. (So many things I dig!) I knew we had to work on something together. • I saw a concept drawing he had made. A drawing of Kaan Took. I couldn't stop thinking about this weird tiki creature. Kaan Took He told me it was a character his father used to tell him stories about when he was little. His Dad said KAAN TOOK was an ancient Mayan King with supernatural powers. Sometimes he seemed more like a mythological god. Sometimes a great warrior of the Mayan Empire. Sometimes a powerful priest of the snake god Kukulkan. I never found out if Kaan Took was real. Was the "Snake-King" was a pre-historical figure, or an actual Meso-American / Mexican legend, or perhaps a bed time story his father made up to scare & thirll little Jacob. GOOGLE the name KAAN TOOK and you get various vague Messo-American people, places, and things. But really who cares? It's not the point. The point is KAAN TOOK fairly drips Low-Brow ! The point is... it's a GREAT story, it's an awesome character, an' ready-made to perfection for habitation in some Low-Brow Tiki Art. • I knew I had to talk about this totally unique tiki-creature / being / king... some how... in my Art. • Jacob and I did a painting together of KAAN TOOK. • It was part of my last show at La Luz: "Mean Green Jelly Bean". It sold quickly. https://www.tikishark.com/pages/mean-green-jelly-bean • Then, we went on and designed a KAAN TOOK Tiki Mug. • We felt we had more to say about this ancient Meso-American Snake-King of the dead. ( That, plus we had many requests to create A KAAN TOOK tiki mug. ) • The Limited Edition SOLD OUT - ( signed by both artists, numbered, and certificated ) - that edition SOLD OUT in about one hour. • A further "open ended" (kinda') edition is on the way soon (-ish ) . • "KAAN TOOK" is coming! The second part is not signed by both artists, not numbered, and no, they don't have a cool Certificate of Authenticity. However, they WILL be just as full of supernatural mythological Low-Brow Tiki Art mana as the first swanky limited edition. So, down on yer knees mortals, - get ready to a tremble in fear, - dare ye' enter the taboo temple of the snake god Kukulkanl, - and raise your mugs of rum & blood to the mighty K A A N T O O K !

So, one beautiful Hawaiian day I was moving some piles of papers, small crates of old bones, and strange boxes of unknown objects (for drawing reference) around in my art studio and I found... ...a "MINI SURF BOARD"! "Wow! It's Mister Mai-Tai! I've been out of stock of these for a long time. It's such a pleasant surprise to find one!" Just then, my Art Agent Abbas was walking past the art-studio ...and saw it. "Oh Boy! That would be perfect!" Abbas madly grinned. He grabbed the "Object-D'Tiki-Art" n' ran off towards the Tiki Shark web-site offices. There, Abbas handed the precious collectable item over to our "head-web-mistress & web-designer-trix; MISTRESS BOURGEOIS.” Her purple hued eyes narrowed as her satin gloved hands caressed the hard wood Mini-Surf Board. A smile crossed her scarlet lips. She rose a' moved, swift as a jungle cat, to place this special, LAST-ONE-OF-IT'S-KIND, Tiki Item up for SALE on the Tiki Shark web site. ~ http://www.tikishark.com MEANWHILE... Back in the Art Studio, I clenched my paint splattered fist in consternation. "Oh jeepers creepers! That was a really cool one, an' I kinda' wanted to hang it up an' gawk at it for a while." ~ I grumbled through broken teeth. "But," I sighed, "Too may things in my art studio already!" "I gotta' make some room in here to think and get inspired by big time tiki artists da' likes of Eric October & Tom "Big-Toe" Laura! We're all going to Forbidden Island!! I smiled an' dreamed of that strange FORBIDDEN ISLAND as I swigged from a bottle o' rum. "Hey, you know what?" I slurred towards a blurry shape that might have been my cat, "It's better if the MINI SURF BOARD goes out into the world and decorates someone's home Tiki Bar." The cat's green eyes watched me as I scratched it's furry, over-sized head. "That's the BEST PLACE any of my TIKI ART can ever end up!" So... get IT, if ya' dig IT! 'Cause IT won't Last Long. ONLY ONE, no others of this design be LEFT! "Mister Mai-Tai" ~ printed on a custom-made miniature Wooden Surf Board. It’s adorned with a special, one-of-a-kind, Artist's Remarque!

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Wed, Jan 22, 2020 9:29 PM ALOHA TIKI TRIBE! E Komo Mi - Welcome to Low-Brow University! Today’s topic is “Hawaiian Mythology: The Myth of The Magic Talking Spear”. The Spear talks to who’s welding it, telling them how to win in battle. Prince Ka-ui-lani uses the spear to defeat a notorious sea-kupua (sea monster). The prince wins by carving several wooden warriors which the spear brings to life. Together they out maneuver the monster. Recently I came across the Hawaiian word “Ka-koa” meaning “warriors” but koa can also mean “wood”. Made me wonder if there was a connection. Koa is a certain type of tree that grows only in Hawaii. It is the most abundant native tree in Hawai’i and Koa wood is prized for it’s deep luster. However, Ka-Koa is “warriors.” Could it be many Hawaiian warriors standing resembled a grove of sturdy Koa trees? Or, is the myth of “The Magic Talking Spear” describing a connection of the word for “Koa tree” to the word for “Koa (warrior)”? Hmmm, good question, heck if I know! Remember, no one wrote down all these things and most true Hawaiians were wiped out by disease so hardly anyone was left an' passed down the clear verbal Hawaiian culture. 99% of folks are just making most of this up. ALOHA!
