You definitely do not want to miss the ‘unveiling’ of CrazyAL’s latest sculpture. Taboo is honored to be able to reveal the next amazing creation from this Crazy-man. I’ve not even seen it, but know it must be something to behold if it to set aside for such special attention. I’m assured by CrazyAL that Taboo is the description and it could be banned from the Hotel Lobby once the managers behold the shocking incredible sight.... “Will this Taboo be for you? It won’t be for everyone.” says AL.

CrazyAL TIKI #34

So Famous it's been Ripped Off!

a while back i let this FL Surf Band use my image of Tiki #34

it seemed to find it's way into this guys T-shirt design?

the nicely squished image seems very proportional to the band flier that gives my art credit.

any information on this design/artist, send it my way [email protected]

wow...I would seriously call those dudes out on that....

you know, it's one thing when some random dude kinda copies a tiki he sees online and it's at his house. I've had guys e-mail me and ask me if it was ok if they kinda copied something I made, and I always say "yeah, sure..."....but when your design is being used to make someone else money without your permission or you being compensated, that's just bullshit. F*** that....
