Kia Ora. from Wellington NZ.
My name is Limey and this is my first hello to the Tiki Frat Shack. I'm looking to meet some cool crew and to show my work around a bit. I'm currently painting a series of Tiki-surrealist works for exhibit later this year but i've also
have released limited edition giclee prints for sale.
I have made considerable efforts to ensure the scanning, printing and paper is of the highest possible quality to produce beautiful archival standard art reproductions.
Each print is signed, numbered and limited to 75 prints plus artists’ proofs.
Specs: Scanning - Cruze under/over hi-res scanner. Printer - Epson 9800 with K3 archival inks.
Paper - Hahnemühle 310 g/m. acid free 100% German Etching Paper.
All prints have a clear border around the image.
NZ is a small market so I figure, go to the source. All feedback welcome.
Cheers for now. Limey

G'day Liam, I've seen your work on TM before and really dig it. In fact, I had a bit of a look around to find out more about your work and already knew about your upcoming show! Nice to see you here - you'll fit in just fine. There are a couple of kiwis on TC already who you'll usually find in the Carving forum.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of interest in your art from the TC community - you can pimp your wares in the Tiki Marketplace, and also introduce yourself and post your work in the "Creating Tiki" section for feedback from other artists and members. Don't forget to check out all the amazing art the other TC creators are producing. You'll find your way around soon enough!

Welcome to TC Limey, I love your work....it is really awesome. My favorite artist of all time is Michael Parkes. I truly appreciate surrealism (can't afford Dali). PM coming your way.

Here's an Amazon link...
http://www.amazon.com/Tiki-Art-Now-Volcanic-Eruption/dp/0867196270
It's up to three volumes, I'm sure it's a matter of time before someone discovers your work to put in a book. The series are about up and coming Tiki artists; a nice glimpse into the world of Tiki art!

Hey Remy, not quite sure what your saying Remy but thanks... i think. Had a look through your website too.
Sweete-as.! A world is opening up to me. The gallery scene here is quite different. severe lack of people really.
I'm with you now Hawwiansnowball, on the book. I've seen earlier copies.
No problem with inspiriation here. I've got more than I can handle just browsing through TC.
