Aloha Tiki Centralites!

It's that time again!
The Lucky Tiki Art Show #4!
NEXT SUNDAY Feb. 26th. 7pm til MIDNIGHT.

We have an AMAZING artist line-up, (as always) featuring a lot of new faces, as well as a few favorites back by popular demand!
I am VERY EXCITED to present this amazing group of artists, and there promises to be a few awesome surprises!
The show will be an intoxicating mix of tiki, cocktail and custom culture art. This will include a wide array of paintings, carvings, wall art, idols and curios created in the worship of all things tiki, as well as the pinstriping madness of Johnny S. and Hot Rod paintings and votive candles by Hey Soos.

If you misssed this one you should be kicking yourself in the head,because it was one of the best shows yet. The group of artist were awsome,and there were sum great deals to be had. The atmosphere was very uplifting and i had a wonderful time. Thanks suzy for another great one, and thanks to those few brave soles who ventured out for this one. also again to the artists, That room was filled with future legends in the tiki world for sure.

PS I cant say this enough... If you missed out last night your a damn fool, and you should be tossing yourself in the great valcano,shame on you...

Yes Last night was alot of fun, and most excellent to see some new artists and
new stuff by some we already know. Kirby's big tiki's and neclaces lokk even better in person. Of the 4 big ones pictured above. I got the smallest one.
We worked out a trade for a 6 ft. Palm log I've had sitting on the side of the house for awhile now. Wish more of the TC crowd would have been there, and at the other events this past weekend.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Yup it was alotta funn, lotta great artist,s Kirbys Tiki,s kicked somme kool ass Nice Stuff Kirby .It was realy Kool meetin some more tc,ers that I hadent meet before . Lets do another one . GGGGRRR Tyger

Too bad we missed it. Atomic Cocktail and Tim Gore used to work together. Small world! Now I work with another SFX artist (Neville Page) that speaks very highly of Tim's talents and we'll be working on a book featuring some of his handy work later this year.
