Tini’s Tiki Weekend ‘08

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Well I have to say once again Tini’s tiki weekend proved to be the Devils cure for my winter drudgery. Months with out sun, scaling the walls in the studio trying paint with pale white hands had worn on my artistic psyche . Yeah a trip over the water to Finland was in order.

I had a warm welcome at Tini’s meeting up again with all my Finnish striper friends in Tini’s Tiki style house. As usual we got to painting right of the bat and we also had a guest photographer from a local museum documenting the event for an up coming art exhibit on Custom Painting in Finland. Later the Curator of the show came be to hang out and aside from the fumes they seemed to enjoy the visit.

In honer of our friends from the museum everyone painted simultaneously on a tunk lid which can be seen in the found in the photos here. Thing got pretty crazy with that when people started striping on the same design, pulling cross overs and painting over each others brushes.

Among so many images and cryptic text the trunk was adorned with every kind of icon to kustom kulture art. Maybe a foreshadowing of the next arctic pinhead event coming up at the end April the annual Stiripe-O-Rama , which will have the theme “Kustom Kustom” this time around.

Pekka has extended an welcome for Swedish stripers to attend, although I have not recived the flyer to post as of yet the I can say the dates for the event are April 26 and 27th.

For those that missed the curbside story on last years Tiki weekend you can find it here ..
