Cigar Time & Exotica Moderne

Friday, July 21, 2019


Within the last year or so a new magazine called Exotica Moderne has appeared on the polynesian pop scene. 


The following is from their Facebook page:

"Exotica Moderne is a quarterly publication showcasing the new tiki and lowbrow art and artists, exotic cocktails, kustom kulture, music and more. Focusing on where these genres have been and where they are heading, Exotica Moderne features emerging artists as well as those spearheading these movements. Where all of these subcultures meet and intersect, Exotica Moderne covers next wave of tiki and lowbrow art."


The above just pretty much sums it all up. My take is that although it's a very fun magazine, the editing could be tightened up a bit. The design, on the other hand, is simply top drawer.


The magazine is published by House of Tabu. Issue # 4 includes a feature on Tiki Cat tiki bar in Kansas City, Missouri in addition to a nice article on Lowbrow artist Ken Ruzic.
