I had a flu-bug and a fever while I painted the sky over and over on and over again on this one... but it has such power , such depth now... it may be my favorite piece.

Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Here's my newest homage to Pop Culture: a mix of "Stake Board Culture, Low-Brow Culture & Tiki culture"!
The Custom Skate Decks were the big hit of the LA Luz de Jesus Gallery Art show! I think all these "out-sider arts" flow together in their own magical mix of underground rare art artifacts. Big Thanks to all the aloha and support, and appreciation of something I thought would be fun and unique! (and big BIG thanks to my Hollywood Art director & Gothic vampire, Kevin - the coolest underground LA skate board maker stalking the night beaches!) and special thanks to curator Matt Kennedy and Gallery Owner Billy Shire (the father of the Low-Brow West Coast art scene) for believing in me and my tiki-world vision.

Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Recently I had the great honor to be asked to be included in the book "SURF ART" by Korero Press. It's a great art book with a collection of over 250 color pages Featuring the giants in the Surf Art field like Rick Rietveld, Thor and Tom Laura (aka Big Toe) and (somehow I got asked to be in it too! So there's a nice spread of Brad Tiki-shark Parker as well.) Big Aloha to Jim Phillips and Yahya El-Drroubie. This is a fantastic, beautifully produced book of the best surf art from around the globe.

aloha!
