Dale, I love it! :eusa_clap

Thanks Harv. It's a shining example of why you shouldn't wander around the mall after having a few.

Excessive is awesome when the mood is right. You are a true connoisseur of the arts Dale.

My personal Holy Grail has always been one of those old lamps with the hula girl base that has the motorized hips.

You mean one of these? It was just out of the frame in the guitar picture. I found it when cleaning out my in-laws garage. Very lucky to have in-laws who lived in Hawaii during the 40s.

Sweet collection Jimmy C.
I like the crazy Rasputin tikis....and is that a ravenous jackalope standing guard?

Awesome "Tiki Corner" Jimmy! I really like the tall, old guy in the back. I also really like the Hawaiian girl print.

Thanks for the props Mike! Diggin' the cranes. Flensted?

My pleasure Dale, dig em everyday, got a couch eye view. The mobile is from a local artist, H. Zucker. Turns out I'm an early owner, mine are dated 1984 and they went commercial in 1983:

The Flensted's are kool too, checked their website

Good stuff there, Mike. Local is always fresher. Thanks for the link.

OK, so its not mine, but its getting harder and harder to find restaurants that serve drinks in tiki cups....around here anyway. A zombie served in a blue tiki cup. Fantastic!

 

[dh66]

That's awesome Harv!! They're getting harder, if not impossible, to find down here, too.

That does.

Nice thread. I have about a dozen or more vintage and modern tiki mugs and various and sundry tiki sculptures, art, etc.—most of it stashed at the moment. I'll have to dig them out and record them for posterity. I've seen several vintage mugs in this thread that I'm lucky to have.

A few pieces of tiki art that I did when I was heavy into it.


Having fun one day on the machine, "Twins."


"Bitten"


"Lone Aku"


"Hurrying Home"

I've done quite a few more but don't know how to get them off of the site . The one below was of a carving by Benzart that I bought that got lost by Fedex. Fortunately for both od us, he tracked it down—but it took some doing.

 

[dh66]

Nice work Foamy!
Glad you were able to retrieve the carving. Looking forward to the mug pics. Might motivate me to dig out a few more of mine.

Your talented foamy, I especially like the "Bitten" piece but can't quite make out the little bugger under the drink umbrella
