ABOUT

Welcome to my Tiki Hula website!     This is a place for my expressive characters, my own contribution to the underground tiki culture, and of course beauty that we all love about the islands.  My subjects can range from very simple nature to complex and wild depending on the energy I am trying to capture.     2011-2012 are a time of growth and expansion for an entertaining future.

Currently I am concentrating on a few new series, and many small 8x10 highly detailed paintings.  Some of them will be auctioned off on Ebay starting at low bids.

I have been to the Hawaiian islands a few times, Maui, and Kauai mainly, and I love the energy, the beauty, and the fish most of all.    I spent many of my 20's surfing out here in Malibu, only a 30 minute jump over the hill.  I found it to be a great therapy for the soul, a body cleansing to the max. 

Since I was born in the 70's I did experience a lot of after-vibe from the 60's, tv shows, furnature, lifestyles, and more including the uprising of Hawaiian travel and boom of lounge style bars and art.  It's very inspiring to have such a great influence from Hawaii on the mainland, and most of all in Palm Springs, a perfect place for Tiki to thrive.    I feel there presence there has only barely just begun and part of my future art is to build and share more Desert experiences with Tiki Hula.

Thanks for visiting, and your support!   CBjork
