But no one is going to say a peep about that because its from a known "artist", in fact everyone is going fawn over the print and the artist. Oh that artist ?? Yes I "fawn" over that artist as well. Not so much for the monkeys and fezzes, which are not my preferred Tiki iconography, but for his overall talented and varied output of work which transcends Tiki. Also he is a great friend and supporter of Tiki events, Tiki bars, and the overall So Cal Tiki community. Yes, "artist who is not mentioned by name", I fawn you man !!
