SL Selector Lopaka Tiki Socialite Jet City Joined: May 07, 2003 Posts: 204	SL Selector Lopaka Posted posted on 06/01/2004 Aloha! I've been saving images of Tiki related rock posters for awhile now, and felt it was time to share with y'all. I'm figuring Tiki Music is a good place to post this. Most of them I got from the site http://www.gigposters.com/index.php, which is the Tiki Central for rock poster geeks. I realize there's some controversial musical artists here, but my aim is to show how Tiki has been used in this artistic medium, not to promote a particular musical artist. Some of them aren't that great, some are pretty cool, some borrow from familiar places, but they all incorporate Tiki, Hawaii or Polynesia. I did my best to credit the artist of each poster, but couldn't figure out a few. Some of these are available out there. I'd do a search on gigposters, ebay or Google the name of the artist if you're looking for one of them. I'll post more as I discover them. Enjoy!

If you google the artist name, there's a chance you can track down the poster you are looking for. There's a lot of different places it could turn up. Good luck.

SL Selector Lopaka Tiki Socialite Jet City Joined: May 07, 2003 Posts: 204	SL Selector Lopaka Posted posted on 03/12/2006 Go here: http://www.gigposters.com/index.php Either search by designer (designers names are listed below each poster on this thread) or band to get to the poster you are curious about. When you see the poster you are interested in, click on it. There you should be able to contact the artist. If not, try Google or eBay. You could ask on gigposters too, but as with TC, it's good to familarize yourself with the site before posting. [ Edited by: Selector Lopaka 2006-03-12 13:35 ]

There is no link whatsoever between the Fastbacks and the Walkabouts and tiki -- n o n e. How dare this poster combine tikis with things that are not tiki! And why are you, Lopaka, contributing to the ruination of all tiki by promoting these? Well, I hope you make a boatload of money on eBay from all the rich jerks who are not genuine tiki fans and who have destroyed all that is holy and deserve to waterboarded and .... Oh, um, sorry.
