Puffer Fish Friday

From Pagan Idol's Doc Park's Instagram account. My favorite puffer fish, Puff Daddy, when he was a wee fish.

Tiki Tuesday - Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker

Who is Brad "Tiki Shark" Parker? I'd say he's my favorite artist in the vein of tiki pop/lowbrow art.

On  his website he is quoted as saying:

"I'm a 'Tiki Artist': a low-brow artist who specializes in Hawaiian pop-culture. I don't paint historically correct tikis. I paint 'souvenir tikis'. I paint tiki's summer holiday reflection. I celebrate the tiki tourists enjoy on their holiday vacation - found in gift shops and in tiki bars. The tiki I paint is an urban myth; a figment of holiday vacation superstition, like Mr. Jack-o-Lantern, the Easter Bunny, or Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. My mission as a tiki artist is to give this fun fictional figure an upgrade, and to help it keep up with our always evolving tiki-pop-culture."
