If you haven't seen it yet, the "virtual unveiling" of my paintings for the show is in the thread Otto mentioned http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=20459&forum=18. But the physical unveiling will be so much better! I'll be there of course, and my parents are planning to come down again too, (and this time maybe even Mike, my "fyon-SAY" if he can get the time off work!)
I'm going to have artist statements about the pieces posted soon as well at my website, HeatherWatts.com.
Also go to the bottom of http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=20459&forum=18 and see my long post for details on a contest related to an interactive art-piece I'm doing to promote the show. You have to guess what it is before I post it tomorrow night and if you're the first, you win a print of "False Idols", one of my pieces from last year's Tiki Art Now show.
Cheers!
Heather

You'll feel ill by the time you hit Everett's paper mills, anyhow... might as well stick to town!
It's far from a done deal, but I really, really want to make it up for this. It looks like a great show, and besides, I've gotta see the Bellevue Trader Vic's.

If you’re coming to Seattle for Tiki Art 3 ~ please send your email to etamburine@yahoo.com. There are plans afoot ~ nothing as organized as a crawl ~ more like a Jet City Junket.
A Seattle Tiki & Fun Stuff Guide, Schedules and Evites will be emailed out as plans come together!

Just wanted to add that the following artists will be at the show opening night:
Shag (Orange County)
Davey Wong (San Francisco)
Dawn Frasier (Seattle)
Lisa Petrucci (Seattle)
Heather Watts (Vancouver)
The Shag pieces must be seen in person (I am told by gallery owner Kirsten)
They are five feet tall!
In case any of you have gone to http://www.roqlarue.com to check out the art, but not gone to http://www.shag.com/ShagAfterDark/TikiArt3.html
