Happy Valentine’s Day to all you love-crazy cats n’ kittens!
Howdy all you Koo Koo Cats n’ Crazy Kittens! Got some super-groovy news to lay on ya….Mr. Retro got their greedy grabbers on a batch of the brand spankin new Kiddie Cocktails book…BEFORE the official US release in August! Only got 200 of em…and dig this, each n every one has been signed and numbered by the author Stuart Sandler and the illustrator, yours truly! This is the only place stateside that you can get it so don’t stall, ya’ll….Flat Git It!! Fall by Mr. Retro to eyeball the tasty innards!

Also up for grabs are a few 12″ x 12″ prints of some of my favorite Kiddie Cocktail pages!



And if that ain’t enough to gas up yer go-go, then take a gander at this here…A brand new limited edition serigraph…Hi-Fi Tiki Guy! I scribbled this one up for a gallery gig at the fabulous Sig’s Lagoon in Houston a few months back. Stack the wax to the sky and bongo beat yer blues away, man!

One last piece of news to lay yer way…I will be droppin in on the Hukilau gig next month down Florida way. I’ll be there to catch up with all my east coast tiki freak friends as well as sittin in at the Harold Golen Gallery booth for a print release / signing on Saturday June 14! You’re probably already in the know that the wonderfully talented Bunny Yeager has very recently passed away…I created a painting for a Bunny show at Harold’s gallery last year and this year I turned the art into a serigraph for the Hulilau…We were hopin to have Bunny there for the signing as well, but sadly…..Anyways, if you plan on makin with the Hukilau scene, you gotta swing by and say Howdy!
