Brad (Tiki Shark) Parker art show at Lahaina Gallery (Maui Hawaii)

Aloha All,

I am proud to announce that our very own Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker is
making his first official personal appearance as a Local Artist
September 17-19.
The show will be held at Sargents Fine Arts & Jewelry on the Island of
Maui - Hawaii on September 17 - 19.

With one of the highest per capita concentrations of Fine Art Galleries
in the world, it is a known fact that The Maui Art Scene reigns supreme
only to rival Art Scenes in cities like London, Paris and New York. Its
popular "Friday night is Art Night" draws Art Aficionado's from all over
the world to attend and enjoy!

Do click on http://www.sargentsfineart.com to take a peak and join me in
wishing Brad the very best of luck!

Congrats, Brad!

Wish we could be there!

Have a great opening!

Thanks Tubunga!
The gallery is showing three original paintings...

Diga Diga Doo

Tiki Cat

Forbidden Island.

They also have some real nice high-end giclees. On stretched canvas - they are
the same size as the original paintings, and are the best reproductions I've seen of
my work. Even I have to look close to make sure it's not the original.
Really, this is a classy joint, and sells only the highest quality giclees.

Bela Lugosi has a Zombie

The Sunken Tiki

The Moon of Manakoora

Tiki of the Blue Pool

The Exotic Traveler

There is one more paintng that I'm working on, and I hope will be done in time for the show.
You can check out my "art in progress" thread and check it out.

If you have questons about prices and such, feel free to ask the gallery - they ship anywhere.

Happy 999! That's 09/09/2009, don't know what it means, but it was weird to see on the calendar!
I talked to the nice gallery director at Sargent's fine art and jewelery
and she said yes to having a special "Tiki Discount" to tiki tribe folks who stop in the gallery and mention
Tiki Central! 10% off Giclees and 20% off Originals!

The show is in Lalaina on Maui, at Sargent's fine Art, Sept 17th to 19th.

Have a good one!
Brad~

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!

SEVEN DAYS TILL THE SHOW!
I KNOW!
URK!
And I'm still working on my all time Polynesian pop masterpiece!
I am determined that this HAS to be the greatest thing I've ever painted.
I have become a crazed maniac, like some fevered artist in a H P Lovecraft novel,
staying up all weird hours and working on this image. (And it's a weird one!)
But, I only got 7 days to finish, and get it scanned in by the printer, and
transported over to Maui!

To see it in progress go to my other thread in the "crafts" area of TC:

Wish I could be there. You know I'm a fan.
Knock 'em out.

Aloha tiki Tibe!
pablus ~ I do too! I'm a bit nervous about this show - first time I've been hung in a wine a cheese kinda joint. I could use as many of the tiki tribe hanging around as possible. If I sell big, maybe next time there's a show in LA - or , as a tribe member suggested, I charter a Tikiyaki Airlines flight from the mainland to Hawaii! (Captain Lush zooming in for a landing somewhere near the gallery...!!!!!!!!)
Three more days!

The show on Maui was successful, great fun, and I got to meet a lot of really cool folks. Big mahalo to Dick Sargent and everyone at Sargent's fine art, everyone who came by, and especially everyone who bought some art! I wish I would have taken more photos, but I think I forgot. Here's some I did get...

Looking good buddy. Mann that work looks great in a cluuster like that! BTW, I like how you cropped the photos to not show your leg shacked to the easel. I'm gonna do that with Kinny hext time he's down. Were people allowed to feed you?

Hodad~ No there was this big sign that read "DO NOT FEED THE ARTISTS"
However, you were able to give me free drinks!

Kenny~ Thanks so much for your support emotionally, I was a bit scattered before the show and you helped me keep it together! Thanks me tiki art brother!
