Oceanic Arts, Legendary Tiki palace, is now closed! But there's Good News!!
EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK At the new Oceanic Arts book, Oceanic Arts; the Godfathers of Tiki! A Peekaboo Deep Dive book, from Peekaboo Gallery. See inside the book and hear my honest opinion about the price, about the story and the attempt at capturing the legacy of Robert "Bob" VanOosting and LeRoy Schmaltz, the two Tiki masters who revolutionized the world of Polynesian Pop by providing the link between the states and the islands, and grounding the Mid Century fantasy decor in a little bit more Island realism
The book is available at http://peekaboogallery.com
And if anyone has any old OA stuff they'd like to sell me or send my way by all means hit me up! See you at the auction!
My 2014 episode with Bob & LeRoy, boy how we've all changed!
