Palm Canyon Dr. , 7-10pm Among Bosko's many pioneering deeds in the Tiki revival is the fact that he was the first to begin carving in the Witco tradition --yet always with a contemporary, tongue in cheek twist that defined the art as his own. This exhibit is proof that his work has evolved to a mastery of the genre that sometimes (he will cringe at me daring to say this) seems to eclipse the original source. All I can say is that I look at this stuff and it makes me happy, and gives me a content smile...aaaaah!

I Love the juxtaposition of Mid Century Modern/abstract/ cubist and Primitive/TIKI art....aka TIKI MODERN. It's a good as Chocolate and peanut Butter. Bosko is the MAN !

The last piece does resemble Bosko's shop, sans the cool broken and test Bosko mugs that are hidden around the grounds. Good luck with this show, I am sure it will be a sell out night.

I am bumping it because it deserves it! :)

I know I have really been lagging in the correspondence department, but after getting the work done for this show I did a painting for the Vegas event and it’s been one project after the other this last month. TIKI KAIMUKI Thank you, hope you enjoy your piece. tikiyaki As always thanks, freddiefreelance, It’s an “Alexander” barn they were very popular in mid century Palm Springs architecture. OceaOtica Thanks you guys are always welcome here. Tiki-Kate Yes you are correct as of an hour ago there is some issue with M-Moderns website. I get a room, KRK Ryden gets the other and I think (don’t quote me) Stone gets the third. Wendy and Dan, Yes we have two new designs brewing for Oasis as I write, please come by my big talk there! I have no idea what to expect, if anyone here can make it on Saturday night please stop by and say hello I would really appreciate it and besides what’s more fun than Palm Springs in the middle of summer? My very best Alohas Bosko

If you're creating a midcentury modern interior, these are a must! Wish I could make it out there for the show, nothing like seeing the grain of that wood in person.

T TIKIBOSKO Tiki Socialite Joined: Oct 17, 2004 Posts: 336	T TIKIBOSKO Posted posted on Wed, Jul 23, 2008 6:29 PM Ahoy all… as the old saying goes I have some good news and some bad news. First, those of you that couldn’t attend because of prior commitments, you have another chance… The Show has been postponed/moved to next week August 2nd, now there’s no excuse for anyone who couldn’t come. For those of you that had planned to attend this weekend I am sincerely sorry this was not my decision, we were just informed, if there is any way you can come the next week I will be doubly grateful. Sorry for any confusion we hope to see you in a week and a half. Thanks Bosko
