Original ARTIST RENDERING OF TIKI MASKS, I found this in the office at the DON THE BEACHCOMBER AUCTION at MARINA DEL REY, CA.

See enlarged photo for artist signature and condition. Could be cropped and matted to hide edge wear. One of a kind piece of tiki art history!
11" x 17"

I'm having trouble loading photos, sorry. Yes, I followed tikiroom's instructions- keeps going into error mode. I have a Mac and I've tried everything I can to copy, paste, export, etc.

Here's the ebay listing.

Weird.

Anyone else suspectful about this?

What do you mean "suspectful?" I was there at the auction, rummaged through the office with the auctioneer's permission, found it, asked for it, and was told "Yes." I also got many office items, furniture and some fine Leeteg paintings. I have witnesses.

What I mean is "I highly question the collectability & worth" of this particular item
"Historically speaking" it is has nothing to do with Don the Beachcomber
and is not of vintage origin, I am not questioning where you got it.

What, I am saying is, the print does not have the connection or importance
that you think it does & reeks of cartoon, mass produced "Party City" wannabe Tiki crap, which no serious collector
of "Tiki" would have any real interest in.

Now the Leeteg's you mentioned, that is a different story.

Good lord. What a snobbish reply.

Punk's been dead for decades, Atomic or otherwise, even in Costa Misery, boy that Cuckoo's Nest put on some great shows. You should have been there... Oh, and the Atomic Cafe was awesome too, another great post punk show hangout from yesterday. You should have been there too...

What is the matter, get your panties in a twist
when you can't handle the truth?

I just gave you a straight answer, did I make any personal remarks?
no I didn't.

If you want a serious conversation here, post your Leeteg's
and not this crap you are going on about, you're just showing your ignorance
same with your punk comments, you don't know what you are talking about.

The results of the auction will speak for itself on this "unique" piece.

Someone had access to the DtB office and this was the most interesting thing to come out of it???

Definitely weird.

Now if you said "opinionated" I would have no recourse
but "snobbish"? well that is just beneath me.

Are you an official spokesperson for the "Party City Tiki Tolerance Auxiliary" (PCTTA)?
which I have the opinion of being Hottentot Potentate's.

So I say to you good Sir/Madam/Mewling quim, Good Day! & a :drink:

Sorry. I meant to say dickish

Yup, from the PCTTA.......
