ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Well my art show is up and hanging at "La Luz De Jesus Gallery" in Los Angeles. (Whew!) Every thing went well. Nothing lost in shipping from Hawaii. Opening night was a huge sucess, with lots of tiki tribe folks showing up (Big Mahalo to everyone!) and about 70% of the show selling (so far!). (yipee!)
If you don't live in LA, here's a Sunday stroll through the gallery so you can see at how the gallery looks...
I got the big back room Gallery at La luz... which you get to after walking through the amazing book/gift shop called WACKO.
I'm really thrilled to be hanging here.
Many, if not all, the big names in the Low Brow Art scene have been launched from Billy Shire's La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
Lots of art sold, and lots o people came to the opening...so I was extremely pleased.. still kinda numb about the whole thing really. While a lot sold -
the hottest item being the art printed on the skate board planks - an experiment I did with a Hollywood art director friend of mine at the last minute, I dropped them off to Billy as he was hanging the show, and we worked out the easy-to-do-it hard ware to hang them from the wall. Happily, Billy thought they were cool (the notoriously gruff gallery owner even smiled while we hung them). They all sold, then the gallery started taking orders for more. Still are, till the 29th!
Of the originals that are still up for grabs, I think one of the best efforts I ever accomplished on canvas is not yet taken! See? Far left...
Secret Cove
24" x 30"
Acrylic on Canvas
( personally, I'd call it the best purchase still available in the show ) I spent weeks just painting the freaking tropical flowers!
I hear there's a big closing show with live music by the Martini Kings!
Big Thanks to everyone who came!
ALOHA!

Aloha Tiki Tribe!
the art show "Tales From the Tiki Lounge" the lurid art of Brad Tiki-Shark Parker" is still up at La Luz De Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles. Check out the show on line here:
http://www.laluzdejesus.com/shows/2012/Parker/TikiShark2012.htm
It was a great amount of work getting the whole show together... but also a great amount of fun opening night!
It all made it up on the walls in time (Whew!) Even the Skate-decks at the last minute!
Big mahalo to Matt Kennedy & Billy Shire for putting me up in the mother of all "Low-Brow" Art Galleries! And Big BIG Mahalo to all the tiki tribe who took the time to come out to the opening night.
Much of the show sold.. The skate-decks sold out that 1st night (yipee!), and the gallery is taking orders for more! ...but If I may, I'd like to point out one very cool original piece that has not yet sold...
Over on the far right...
Tiki Vs Godzilla
24" x 30"
Acrylic on canvas
If you are looking for a real-deal one-of-a-kind freaky-tiki ultra swank original art piece for your home tiki bar, rumpus room, or tropical office space, consider THIS! (Psst, and hey, the show is ending, now perhaps might be the time to drop a "best offer" onto curator Matt Kennedy. Hey, never hurts to try! Better selling then shipping back to Hawaii!
AND... I hear there's also a SWANK closing party at La Luz De Jesus Gallery on July 29th with LIVE music!
What a great excuse to cruise down to Hollywood to the "La Luz", go next door to the "Tiki Ti", lift a Mai Tai or two, and then stroll back to the gallery & eyeball this painting up close and personal, ...as well as lots of other art by Miles Thompson, and me, all while listening to some of the best LIVE exotica music around by ...the Martini Kings!
DIG THAT!
ALOHA!

"BETTER SELLING THAN SHIPPING!"!!
Hey, some lucky gun-of-a-sun smart art patron has gotten a "real-deal-that-would-make-u-squeal" on a fantastic piece of original art !!!!
Eye kid u not!
This is all due to the fact that they payed attention when I told you what my art agent said:
"BETTER SELLING THAN SHIPPING!"
Yep, the big Los Angeles Art Scene Tiki Art show at "La Luz de Jesus Gallery" is over. We sold a LOT of art. Total hit. Big happy with the out com. But, what did not sell, we would rather save on shipping art back to HAWAII and are willing to listen to "offers" from shrewd tiki-tribe folks who know NOW is the time that Green is King.
http://www.laluzdejesus.com/previousframes.html
Take a look see at what has not sold, and contact the gallery or my agent , Abbas, at [email protected].
The tiki gods are smiling on honest offers and you never know - this could be the purchase that could make you change your shorts!
Big BIG aloha! Thanks again to everyone who came out and supported us. Great news about future art projects, but I'll save that news for later. Just remember, my art agent is still saying "BETTER SELLING THAN SHIPPING!"
A-lo-HA!

Custom Skate Decks!
Low-Brow Culture meets Skate Culture meets Tiki Culture! Kustom Skate Decks w/ Art by Brad Tiki-shark Parker.
EAch deck comes with hard ware to hang on the wall to be the ultimate swanky art object! $200 each. Very few left! Contact Abbas [email protected]
The Big Los Angeles Tiki Art Show at "La Luz De Jesus Gallery" is over. Thanks to all the tiki tribe for the great Show, and turn out.
Now, some art didn't sell. My art agent, Abbas is saying "SELLING is better than SHIPPING!"
So, we're looking to sell stuff on the mainland now - instead of shipping it back here to HAWAII and then selling it on the net and having to ship it to the mainland ...again - that's too much $ spent on shipping!
So, make an offer now. Abbas is open to listening...and Green is King! I think getting the whole set of classic monsters could be gotten at a "group set rate"... but act fast. Not too many decks are left!
Big ALOHA!

Aloha Tiki Tribe!
I'm getting ready for my favorite holiday... All Hallows Eve! The local gallery here in Kona Hawaii has plotted with me to have a show in October. This gallery has become very important to me. The gallery owner, Mark Hanna, showed my art when many other local galleries scratched their heads and told me "Tiki does not sell. Tourists are not hip enough to get this low-brow retro tiki stuff." Mark took a chance... and the tourists showed they are hip to Tiki... or are willing to be. The gallery sales people really have become ohana (family)... getting behind my work. They've really been supportive and widened their minds and learned about "Tiki Culture" and "Low Brow Art" as well as learning the more polite term "pop-surrealism" & "conceptual realism". The gallery folks hinted they may come to the show dressed as characters from my paintings... Wow (!) I'm gonna' carve some Jack-lanterns to go along with the tiki torches out front. I'll have the new limited Skate Decks sporting the classic monsters (on vacation) and Tikis & Jack-o-lanterns, my favorite "Bela Lugosi drinking a Zombie", I'll show patrons some Shark spirits and tiger sharks, many skulls, some hot rods, & a Tiki, here, or there... or everywhere! (course!) ... and even the latest and my most Halloween pumpkin-pie flavored art print: "Hawaii-Ween". That's me holding it up - this one's a special artist's remarque.
"Hawaii-Ween" : Once again, I painted something I thought no one would understand much less shell out $$ for - but again I was happily surprised, and "Hawaii-ween" has been selling well in the gallery all summer long. I poured my heart into it, and it seems there are those out there in the tiki Tribe who also feel the connection of Halloween and Tiki...
So we'll have a "Happy Hula-Ween Tiki-Art Show". Not sure of the date yet -(I'll post that soon), and we'll see who, or what, comes out that night...
... and slinks, lurches, glides, hulas or night-marches to the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery, in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
