The Exotic Traveler was painted for a specific reason, I was asked to paint something for the cover of "Tiki Magazine". This was a very big deal for me! I wanted to show a classic looking Tiki. I wanted it to vein a very classic "Hawaiianna" setting a beautiful night scene of a secluded beach, a perfect wave, with a small enchanted tiki hut on a beach in the background. I carefully placed in exotic orchids to frame the foreground.
Then, I wanted a touch of the fantastic; I wanted to show something about local superstitions we have on the Big Island of Hawaii about spirit-balls glowing in the jungle. A few dance around the hut, then one rises up out of the sand right in front of the TIKI. What is it? Good question! As the title suggests maybe it's a visitor from far away enjoying the beauty of Hawaii, an inter-dimensional tourist? Maybe a dear departed loved on watching over family? Or maybe just a trick of the light and the glowing lights you sometimes see in the jungle at night are nothing at all. These questions are best answered by the viewer.

I painted this for a local Mai Tai Festival in Kailua-Kona Hawaii, yet it has still not yet been used for that promotional purpose.
In 2014, the painting traveled to show at Strychnin Gallery in Berlin, Germany where it was unveiled in a mod Tiki Art Show with many other big name artist's works.
However, it didn't sell and even though the gallery requested that they hold onto it for an additional amount of time to display it, it never sold there.
When the painting arrived back in Hawaii it had been a few months since I had laid eyes on it. One look and I knew exactly what needed to be done to it. To make it really "FINISHED".
I put brush to canvas again, and I created the super high glossy chrome look to the living Mai Tai.
That chrome look was made famous in underground comics by Robert Williams, the father of "Lowbrow Art".
Sporting his new, Lowbrow comic, very shiny look, Mister Mai Tai sold instantly when he was next revealed to the public.

I'm a big fan of the actor, Béla Lugosi.
Béla Lugosi became world famous in the 1930's with his role of Dracula on stage and film.However, in 1932 he starred in an American pre-code horror film: "White Zombie" that was even better.
In "White Zombie" Béla Lugosi stars as "Murder Legendre" Voo-Doo master who rules a tropical island with his legion of zombies.
Almost a century later, Bela Lugosi's supremely dark charisma reaches out from this black & white film and mesmerizes you with eyes behind heavy, silent-film style make-up, with wickedly arched eyebrows.
"White Zombie" features imaginative visual story-telling techniques. The first zombie film ever made. The first film to portray non-stereotyped black characters. A milestone horror film-making that influences horror films right up to today.
A ZOMBIE is an animated dead-man.
But, it's also a popular tropical drink.
This painting explores Béla Lugosi as a Tiki-Bar proprietor who is the Master of (both kinds) of ZOMBIES.
This is the only painting I did that I was told "its eyes follow you around the room" - and a guest could not sleep in the same room as the original.

"The Sunken Tiki was the first painting I did after I permanently moved to the Island of Hawaii. Only the ninth gallery piece I ever painted. The idea came to me while I was snorkeling along the Kona-Kohala coast. I was appreciating the bright yellow tangs - the most common local reef fish in Hawaii schooling around the reef. They moved and took shapes as a group. They're so bright you can see them clearly from the shore as they swim beneath the waves, glimmering as lovely as tropical flowers. My imagination saw them as a Hawaiian Lei draped around the neck of a sunken tiki, hugging an object to avoid the cartoon eel/snake; my own made up undersea menace. The eel-snake protects a lost chest of pirate treasure. My first Hawaii born painting was born, all I had to do was swim to shore, get to my studio, and put brush to canvas." - Brad Parker
