But the physical unveiling will be so much better! I'll be there of course, and my parents are planning to come down again too, (and this time maybe even Mike, my "fyon-SAY" if he can get the time off work!) I'm going to have artist statements about the pieces posted soon as well at my website, HeatherWatts.com. Also go to the bottom of http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20459&forum=18 and see my long post for details on a contest related to an interactive art-piece I'm doing to promote the show. You have to guess what it is before I post it tomorrow night and if you're the first, you win a print of "False Idols", one of my pieces from last year's Tiki Art Now show. Cheers! Heather

W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Sat, Sep 16, 2006 7:33 AM The art show is great...And I do mean the show not just the opening, so if yer boo-hoo-hooin' 'bout not bein there last night dry yer eyes and see about seein' the show...Hangin' til October 9. (And I'd guess the gallery, which was still packed at 8:30 when we got there, won't smell like a men's locker room the resta the show.) Mosta the stuff has to be seen in person to really blow yer mind. The online images and catalog are good, but seein' them in real life makes a huge difference. There were several pieces I was indifferent about when I saw 'em on line but I was really impressed when I got eye-to-eye with 'em. PS: I can't recall what the special mug looked like exactly. I got there late and it looked like they were all gone and I just glimpsed one a fella was buyin'. I was a little distracted by a swell Moai lamp on the counter near him.

E Exoticat Member Hutikihi Island ~ near Seattle Joined: Feb 08, 2003 Posts: 481	E Exoticat Posted posted on Sun, Sep 17, 2006 2:21 PM I would like to thank Otto for bringing together a really incredible Tiki Art show...it was most definitely a huge success on a perfect night and I'm really glad I got to finally attend one. It was great finally meeting Otto in person as well. Lushy was fun to hear as always, and Selector Lopaka did a fantastic job with the music at Roq La Rue. I personally had a very fun time and hope to get to go to another one in the future...

I feel blessed and honored to have been able to participate. Next to the Garfield High School Class of 1985 20th reunion, it was my most satisfying DJ gig. The art looks beautiful and even more beautiful with red dots. Congrats to all the artists!
