Newly "Discovered'
Puan Tribal Art & Artyfacts
(Created by me that is!)

From My Enchanted World of Lana Pua ....
The Lost Kingdom of The Floating Flower Islands

Arriving at the International Tiki Marketplace
June 14th in Huntington Beach
Don the Beachcomber

As a side note ....
As some you may know, the vast majority of my illustrations, paintings, sculptures, figures and artyfacts are not from the world of purist Tikidom ... but are items I have created as pieces from MY Enchanted World of Lana Pua ... A once lost island kingdom.

My work is influenced by many cultures, and my own personal artistic expression, MY world is an amalgamation of them all. So expect the unusual, expect bizarre, and hopefully I manage to surprise and intrigue you as well.

I create what I love ... but most of all I love it when I can share the adventure I am creating with YOU!
