Now in my shop, archival paper and ready to hang canvas prints of “Forbidden Island”. This painting inspired by 2 black and white vintage photos and a shot I took at the #PlaceOfRefuge on the Big Island of Hawaii. A beautiful wahine watches a wooden schooner drop anchor in an idyllic tropical lagoon with a majestic volcanic mountains in the distance. The 2 menacing tikis watch over her and could portent troubled waters ahead for the visiting sailors. #BigToeArt #tikiArt #tikibar #tahiti #hawaii #sailboat

“Legend of Laka” Based on a Polynesian Folkloric tale, a Polynesian Sailing vessel is attacked by a giant squid at the bidding of an evil demon. Will Laka and his band of heroes defeat the monster and rescue the damsel in distress? #BigToeArt #tikiArt #tikibar

“Honu Bar” A pair of Sea Turtles (“Honu” in Hawaiian) enjoy a cocktail or 2 in their classic tiki bar. One Honu enjoys a jellyfish cocktail while he strums his ukulele, while the other shakes up a fresh tropical libation. Their bar features all a dream collection of fishing float, tapa cloth and puffer fish lamps, a “kanaloa” tiki, a giant clamshell fountain, tiki mugs, a swordfish bill, traditional Hawaiian weapons, jade tile panels and even Mai Kai pole barstools! #BigToeArt #tikiArt #tikibar #seaTurtle

“Dark Kanaloa” Archival quality paper prints and ready-to-hang stretched canvas prints available in my shop. Deep under the tropical sea, a gorgeous green-haired mermaid poses alluringly on a bed of coral next to a Kanaloa-style tiki, the Hawaiian ocean spirit. His menacing teeth echo those of the sharks that swim in silent vigil. #BigToeArt #tikiArt #tikibar #mermaid
