Description: This is a POSTCARD featuring the TIKI ART of BRAD PARKER TIKI SHARK Postcard Art Show at the LA L:UZ DE JESUS GALLERY called the Red TIKI Lounge Parker was born in 1961 and raised in Southern California. He later attended the art program at UCLA, where he discovered his future career path as a cartoonist. Following his departure from UCLA, he began work as an illustrator In Hawaii, Parker showed his works at the Kona Oceanfront Gallery in Kailua-Kona, where his pop surrealist paintings focusing on the Tiki theme were exhibited and sold. The art curators on the island were skeptical at first that his themes would sell, so he was first relegated to the back of the shop. As the paintings proved the better sellers of the art in the gallery, they eventually took on a featured position, including replacing the previous styles of paintings in the gallery window. His works blend popular culture items like Hollywood monsters, anthropomorphized house pets, and other alien elements into Tiki environments based upon Hawaiian landscapes. Parker states that he is making alternative representations of Tikis, and not producing the real thing, in order to avoid misrepresenting traditional Hawaiian indigenous culture ITEM is in VERY GOOD condition POSTCARD is 4 x 6 MULTIPLE PURCHASES PAY ONE MAILING FEE
