We may also be accepting preorders for the Tikifarm items. We will keep everyone posted with what will be offered and at what prices. There may even be some of the Shag pieces available from the "It's All About the Tiki" show!

We just noticed that the artist Alex Meyer was not listed in the artist list. Alex does some great work and is an up and comer.

In response to a question we received at the gallery. We never did receive a return email or response from Derek Yaniger about participating in this show. Too bad as we really love the posters he has done for the Tiki Oasis the past couple of years.

Thanks for the invite. I wish I could be there.

M Modern - Any chance you'll be posting pics of the "I Dream of Tiki" art on your site?

Hi,

We should be posting this show on our web site by next week latest. We just need to take a few more photos of the art first.

Cool - you guys are the greatest!

Just wanted to say that it was great seeing all the tiki art at your gallery that weekend. As one who doesn't have the dough to buy, I wanted to say what a great idea Munktiki's vending machine was. Art for a quarter. I had more fun with that thing! And who doesn't need a few zillion monkey swizzle things? Great fun and a great time! Thanks!
