TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Mon, Jun 7, 2010 10:06 PM THANKS Atomic Tiki Punk. Well, the big Tiki clock in the sky is ticking. September 25th is getting closer. I'm making art. I will have ten pieces at this show. (fingers crossed) Many will be original paintings. Some will be "artist proofs" limited editions - on canvas, retouched. Here is one of the original paintings that will be there: "Faster Than Disaster" 30" x 24" Acrylic on canvas We'll have food and drinks and dancing girls! Er... ok, some lovely young ladies will be serving drinks and pupus, they may or may not dance while they are doing so. That's up to them. Hope you to see you there!

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Wed, Jul 7, 2010 1:20 AM little lost tiki - Okay, maybe dancing girls. Well, maybe not. However, my gorgeous niece from Canada is going to come down to help out, perhaps strolling around in her swanky aura of dream-like beauty serving refreshments on a silver platter.... (but her new husband will be there too... minding da' door, he'll be da' gorilla sporting a zoot-suit, and packing a black-jack, jus' so's none o' you mooks get outa. line, ya' know? Dis' is a classy joint we're talkin' about here.) So the theme of the show (or my part of it) is this: 10 pieces. All original paintings, or full sized giclees on canvas with artist remarks (making them one of a kind pieces and as close to seeing the original as possible). PLUS, 10 "Vintage" framed covers of "Tales From The Tiki Lounge". It'll be Issues 1 through 10. Get what I'm saying? "Faster Than Disaster" - Original painting 30" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas (Vintage) "Tales From the Tiki Lounge #1, featuring "Faster Than Disaster" on the cover. 11" x 8" Giclee on paper Should be an interesting juxtaposition of art and what happens to said art after it is published. Scribble it down on your calendars... September 25th 2010! See you there! ALOHA! Brad~

The "Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center" has created their promo invitation. "Hey kids, can you pick out the "Low Brow" artist? I'm very honored to be given top billing. Hope to see some Tiki folks there - I'm making up a special "Voo Doo" punch that will be served along with the usual swank beverages and food the Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center serves during openings. Big Aloha! Brad~
TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Tue, Aug 24, 2010 7:07 PM A L O H A Tiki Tribe! So, the BIG art show is coming up - Sept 25th. S A T U R D A Y Opening night 7 to 9 PM. Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center. 1560 Manhattan Beach Boulevard Manhattan Beach, California 90266 (310) 802-5440 Near the waves in the ol' south bay! Along with original paintings for sale, I will be offering some very high end giclees on canvas - These are limited editions. They are hand retouched by me, are the same size as the originals, and look as great as the originals! (well, almost, but a darned beautiful job of reproduction. Please check out this link to a listing of the work by La Luz de Jesus Gallery, who are being so kind as to help promote the show. http://www.laluzdejesus.com/shows/2010/Tiki-Shark/Parker2010.htm In this wacky economic time, I know some Tiki Tribe art patrons are looking to enhance the walls of their tiki huts with out spending a few thousand clams. So... I will also have some giclee on PAPER art prints at a lesser price for those art patrons seeking to pay more around $100 instead of ...well, a few thousand clams. All my giclee art prints are made at Honu editions here on the Big Island of Hawaii - their expert work hangs in every local museum and swank hotel lobby. Simply, they are the best on the Big Island. ("Monsters on Vacation" - one of the art prints that will be offered for sale.) I'll be there opening night to sign and personalize all art prints bought. This will also save you those pesky shipping costs from Hawaii when folks buy my art prints on line. I'll have a limited supply with me, so if you come early, you'll more likely be able to find the art print on paper you're looking for. So check out the original art - the high end giclees on canvas, - and the beautiful giclees on paper. B I G A L O H A ! Hope to see you there! Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker

I finished the huge epic sunken pirate-ship-and-tiki painting!!!! It'll be on display at the show in Sept. Am I going to post a big fat photo of the finished painting that took me 3 plus months to paint? No. I'm going to be a total creep and keep it secret till OPENING NIGHT Sept 25th! So you can come on down and gawk at it in person, along with a whole bunch of other originals, some high end giclees , and even some very reasonable priced giclees on paper - all for sale, and which I will personalize to you if you so wish. Like what you ask? Well check it out here: http://www.laluzdejesus.com/shows/2010/Tiki-Shark/Parker2010.htm The Pirate Ship is not listed on the La Luz de Jesus Gallery site as it wasn't done yet, and it's already sold to a secret collector anyways. Now, I'm gonna try to crank out two smaller "Monsters on Vacation" pieces so I can have a whole block of 6 of them at the show..... (I hope. Pass the Red Bull please!) But come on down and take a peep at da art, and at me (yeash!) in person, before it is swept away into a secret collection never to shown to the public ever ever ever again and I am deported back to the Big Island. MAHALO! Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker

U is so Right! Takes some of the sweating off! Chippy ~ Wow, I would be honored! Hope u can bring your daughter- she's into the Universal Monsters? Sounds like a very Cool Kid U got there, raised by parents who knew what pop culture to expose her to. TIKI-RAY~ Thanks! I look forward to seeing you! So, as you might know, I sponsor the pod cast "The Cocktail Nation" hosted by Koop Kooper. Koop is a charming suave retro cat who lives in an amazingly fabulous penthouse over looking Sydney. It is my ardent goal to one day be as cool as Koop. To that end, I've been (mostly with the help of my partner Abbas) creating a ever more SWANK life style and living / working space. I think I've made alot of progress in progressing from some of the strange digs I occupied in Hollywood and Venice to the "Swank High House in the Mist" over looking Kailua-Kona bay where I now dwell and paint. I guess all these efforts are starting to pay off a bit because today some nice folks from "In Home Magazine" - the Sunday Supplement of West Hawaii today" came by to photograph my pad. I said yes to the interview after I saw they did a piece on Dug Miller's "House of Tiki" which I found out is in my new neighborhood. Here is the shot set up for the "Jungle Room chair" Here editor Karen Anderson is over seeing the shot of "Diga Diga Doo" - the mugs and the print. This is my art room - the work table and the "head chopper" axe on the wall are movie props I designed for the horror flick - "Jeepers Creepers". (shh! Don't tell Universal, I hear they have been searching for these rare pieces for years now!) I have no idea how it will look published, but I think I'll be in the Halloween issue next month. I'll be sure to post then. Halloween is swank, right? Big ALOHA!

Wait is it 17 or is it 16? er...I'm not sure. Lack of sleep muct be getting to me. Oh well, "More Red Bull" - gotta focus on what I'm getting ready today. Thursday, Sept 9th: I'm working my "day job" - a big "Tiki Shark Hawaii" beach towel order for a new client here in Hawaii. Yes, it would be nice if this would have happened AFTER the show, but we need to make deadlines for the factory. And, it's great to break into the tourist market here in Hawaii. That has taken some time. Of course, this means I'm painting late into the tropical night to get the last painting finished. This last painting may be coming with me on the plane. The Gallery in Maui just shipped the few originals they had to the venue in Manhattan Beach. I'm packing the originals I have been hording here this week end, and I'll ship them early next week. They should all arrive in Manhattan Beach in plenty time for set up. Am I a bit nervous? YES! Some Exciting news: Here's a first look at my art on the cover of the "16 page supplement" that's packaged along with issue #21 of the french magazine "KUSTOM". It'll seem like you are buying a new magazine poly-bagged to include a vintage comic! Too fun! Will this actually fool any french people? Not sure, but it's cool to see it. I hear there is a box of them on the way to me. I hope they get here in time so I can take some to the art show. Here's a link to the mag: http://www.rods-customs.com/?p=452 Aloha! Brad~

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Mon, Oct 4, 2010 8:11 PM ALOHA TIKI TRIBE! Here's some more photos. I thought I might have lost them, cause this camera was in my pocket when I fell into Pyramid Lake (but that's another story). Camera dried out and so did I. OK, I'm totally geeking out here. This is the photo I always wanted. There's kind of a similar photo of a Robt Williams art show in his book "Through Prehensile Eyes". The Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center is a big beautiful art space. Vast amounts of light, broad white expanses of wall between each piece. Here's the hardest working man in the "Art World" my agent and partner Abbas. The guy never stops! the long wall. Long wall - a closer look. Here's the short wall across the gallery. http://www.ci.manhattan-beach.ca.us/Index.aspx?page=928 The show hangs in this terrific space till Oct 14th. Take a drive to Manhattan Beach, take a look, as most all these pieces are sold and will all travel off to private tiki bars and swank lounges afterward, maybe never to be seen in public again. Mahalo brad

(!) Wow! I thought I was just showing at a really really really REALLY nice gallery... and here it was a museum! Well, big apologies to the fine folks working at the Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center for referring to your establishment as a gallery. I am completely humbled and honored (...and feel pretty dumb!) My only defense is I was working so hard to put this show on I didn't realize the extent of the fine people and art establishment involved.... and ...ah... I live on a volcanic island far far away from the ultra swank big city art scene. Once and again a million mahalos to everyone who helped, who came to see my art, and who purchased art. It was amazing. big big BIG ALOHA!
