Hi Tiki Central fans!
Thanks to everyone that came out to the "10th Anniversary Book of Tiki" event at M Modern Gallery. We especially want to thank Sven and Naomi for making the trip out to Palm Springs and for putting together such a great group of artists for the show.
We were so inspired at M Modern Gallery by what Sven did with this show that we are talking with Sven about making it an annual event. Also, we will be doing up one of the gallery spaces as a full time Tiki art room with mugs, Tiki merchandise and of course Tiki paintings and prints!
We will announce the room on Tiki Central once it's complete and we look forward to having you all visit with us again!
Thanks, Jay
PS. We will post a link with the photos from the show our photographer took once we receive the completed disc from him.

Just in case you wanted to see some more photos...
"You think this art show is cool, wait until Nov. 6th..."
A whole lotta people...Couldn't tell if it was hotter inside or out
"Where are we? This map is so confusing."
The Maestro and The Queen
"Can you draw something cool in my book?"
"Sure, soon as finish this funny story about jury duty."
The Pizz making a killer illustration in Adrian's BOT "yearbook"
A rare moment when Sven wasn't surrounded by his adoring fans
Somethin' heavy is goin' down here
"Wait, did I just hear Tonga Tom's camera go off?"
"Manuel, Eric & GROG at the bar? I can't believe it."

Thanks for the pics Tonga Tom. That's exactly what I wanted to see. If anyone else has more pics please post them.
OK, so I think we can all agree that Moritz's BOT cover painting is the best in show. And we all know who scored it, (cough) Wildsman (cough). So I would like to see the painting in its natural environment (in your home). Please post pics.

As I would love to show you what it looks like in my home,it is very hard to see it past the lasers,protective glass and killer pitbulls.
Truth is after I picked it up I was called by Dre from M Modern to return it so it can be shown at Mondo Lounge in Vegas later this month.
So for now there is an empty nail on my wall.......just waiting for my crown jewel.
P.S. Monitor you still have one of the best original collection of tiki art I've seen on TC.
In my opinion this was the greatest show I've seen in years. Tiki Art without the twist.
it was a great show for artist to go back to basics with out all the side influence.
plus the turn out was great and so were the sales..........Maybe things are getting better and we can enjoy again.

Thanks for the compliment Wildsville. One of these days we have to meet.
I totally agree that this was one of the best tiki show in a while; and it shows, because the show's almost sold out. A big thank you goes out to Sven and Jay (M Modern) for that.
