Pardon the lack of HTML skills.
This website is simply to show you the glory that is our tiki bar.

(This page may take a while to load)

Here is the bar from one angle.

Note the lampshade we custom ordered from Moonshine Shades.

The bar itself was not covered in bamboo. I did that. What you can't see is the cool boomerang shaped legs for it.
The bar closer up.

On it, you can see a couple of mugs I got off ebay from Harvey's Sneaky Tiki (without the paint).

The tiki lights and many of the cute little things on the bar come from Archie McPhees.
These are a couple of silkscreened prints I bought at Tin Man Alley.

The one on the right is an artist's proof by Coop.

The one on the left is by Susan Crawford.
As you can see, under the plexiglass, I have a lot of stickers and postcards by Shag, Coop and Stella Marrs.
From this angle, you can see two pieces of my artwork.

The next two pictures below are clearer images of them. The one on the right sold, so I no longer have it.

This is the tiki on the left on the wall.

If you are interested in this artwork, I am open to negotiation on the price.
This is the tiki that sold. It is mounted on black velvet.

As you can see, my style is primitive, like the Moai statues on Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

I like to get across a primitivism that many of the other tiki artists don't do.

This is another tiki I made.

Again, if you are interested in this artwork, I am open to negotiation on the price.
Ain't it cute?

This little tiki is also on black velvet.

Again, if you are interested in this artwork, I am open to negotiation on the price.
And another.

Again, if you are interested in this artwork, make an offer.
Here's another tiki that I made that is in my computer room and not by the bar.

Again, it's on black velvet.
Here's another closeup of the bar. Note the rocket-shaped ice-crusher I found at a vintage store in Port Angeles, WA.
Yet more showing what's under the glass.

And you can see that I do have the tiki bar-requisite Blue Curacao sitting on the fridge!
This is the last image of the bar.

As you might notice, there is a flannel sheet on the windowsill.

That's because when this picture was taken, it was about 5 degrees fahrenheit outside and down to negative 15 at night.

And you wonder why I have a tiki bar? I need something that makes me think of the South Pacific!
Across from the bar is my kitsch display case.

Yes, I collect devils and skulls, especially Mexican folk art ones.

And that is, in fact, myself and my wonderful wife Traci in the photo on top. That was taken at Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness.
Now we get into my poster collection.

This one, for a NARAL auction was designed by Art Chantry and Jamie Sheehan.
This one, for a benefit concert I helped organize, is designed by Jeff Kleinsmith.
Here's another Kleinsmith.
And another.
And lastly, another Chantry.

This one was for a benefit concert that I organized for Hands Off Washington and it actually has my name and old phone number on it.

The sad thing is that I never got him to sign this one.

So there you have it. That's my tiki bar.
