Awesome Show!
We even got to meet the MAYOR!
Fancypants!
The pieces looked soooo incredible all together on the wall....
Truly a masterful assembly of masterworks!
But the best part was being able to see/hug/and talk to Abbas and Brad!
Congratulations on selling all that work!
i see many exhibitions like this in your future!

Thanks for posting pix, HB! Looks like a great turn out, sorry we missed it, but we were in a broken down car 300 miles away!
Congratulations, Brad!

A L O H A Tiki Tribe!
Thanks sooo much for posting those pics!
I just got back on the island tonight, jet lag is making this a short post, but big big Mahalo to everyone who showed up and bought all the art!
The show will hang at the Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center till October 14th, so you still have a chance to go take a look at the originals.
Brad~

http://www.laluzdejesus.com/shows/2010/Tiki-Shark/Parker2010.htm
Whew! What an adventure that was! I'm still a bit stunned. Now, I'm decompressing back in Hawaii, and starting the long art journey to the next one...
Aloha,
Brad

ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Here's some more photos. I thought I might have lost them, cause this camera was in my pocket when I fell into Pyramid Lake (but that's another story). Camera dried out and so did I.
OK, I'm totally geeking out here. This is the photo I always wanted. There's kind of a similar photo of a Robt Williams art show in his book "Through Prehensile Eyes". The Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center is a big beautiful art space. Vast amounts of light, broad white expanses of wall between each piece.
Here's the hardest working man in the "Art World" my agent and partner Abbas. The guy never stops!
the long wall.
Long wall - a closer look.
Here's the short wall across the gallery.

The show hangs in this terrific space till Oct 14th. Take a drive to Manhattan Beach, take a look, as most all these pieces are sold and will all travel off to private tiki bars and swank lounges afterward, maybe never to be seen in public again.
Mahalo
