FREAKY BOUTIKI GALLERY will play host a most unusual show this autumn.
THE HEAD SCRATCHER:
Now, I'd scheduled a wierd group show for Christmas but the spirit of autumn was undeniable... what could I do? Monsters and zombies? Nahhhhh... like Robert Stack once said in Airplane when asked to turn on the runway lights, "That's just what they'll be expecting us to do."
INSPIRATION FROM BEYOND:
The answer came late one night when the Ghost of Alistair Crowley who lives under my bed told me I would be contacted shortly by an angel who looks like the Snow Meiser and a demon who looks like the Frito Bandito about an idea for an ass kicking Halloween show. I was assured by Crowley's ghost that while there have been many tarot shows presented by galleries around the wide wide world, ours would be the first to pair the undeniable forces of Tiki & Tarot.
Thus Freaky Boutiki Galleries second show...
Tikot! - Visions from the Tiki Tarot
THE MASTER PLAN:
This exhibition will focus on the Tarot's twenty two Major arcana portrayed in distinctive Tiki & Oceanic styles by twenty two of your favorite artists. Works will be executed using their favorite mediums both two dimentional and sculptural including mugs.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of TIKOT!
Cards should "Turn Up"(get it?) throughout October cuminating in a costumed celebration on All Hallows Eve featuring the entire major arcana!
THE COSMOS APPROVES:
In true Tarot fashion all artists have so far told me that the cards randomly drawn for them were those they would have chosen for themselves!
The Fool - Big Toe
The Magician - Brad Parker
The High Priestess - UlaFish
The Emperess - Eric October
The Emperor - Crazy Al Evans
The Hierophant - Erin Joy
The Lovers - Bowana David Lea
The Chariot - Tiki Racer
Justice - B. E. Boling
The Hermit - HodadHank
The Wheel - S. L. Grice
Strength - 4WD Bill Collins
The Hanged Man - Atomic Tony Tiki
Death - Clysdalle
Temperance - Heather Watts
The Devil - McEvoy & Rodriguez
The Tower - Babalu
The Star - Atomikitty
The Moon - Doug Horne
The Sun - Tiki Omar
Judgment - Kinny Ruzic
The World - Eric The Red
Note: The Show Poster was done by Kinny Ruzic who's great patiece w/ endless revisions was very much appreciated. Ain't it bitchin?

WOW! What a line up!
And WOW, what a great idea, Hank! Got my image all drawn out already, just need to transfer it to canvas and let the paint start flying!
Can't wait to see what all these stellar artists will create for this unique show!
Mahalo Hodaddy for such a brilliant concept!

Kenny, he never said if you use the Queens Scale colors or what. You may have to re-paint!

Here's a quick 'work in progress' for my card - the chariot
More detail and colour to add. The darker turtle will become black. Plus stars and moon to come.

Toe That fool is great! I love the dog biting his ass and how he's walking off a cliff!
Anyhoo heres my Hermit in progress, I must say anyone who knows me beyond a handshake will recognise this card as perfect for my current life situation. The universe working in mysterious ways perhaps.
Who knew a MUNKTIKI COCONUT BOWL could be a dispenser of such cosmic accuracy...

Thanks Spermy. This question has been raised a number of times and I shall consider it. It would be a great way to involve other artists who weren't included for one reason or another this time around. The short notice of the show for example excluded many who would have liked to participate. Thanks for the encouragement. FBG is a living breathing thing and I can see it evoling into gathering point for an international visual arts movement of like minded individuals not dissimilar to The Bauhaus.

Printing tarot cards? Sounds like a job for a print production manager. Gee, I wonder where we can find one?  Hank, sending you a PM regarding this. Let's chat!
