Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Well, you've just stumbled upon Tiki Farm and "The Hardest Working Man in Tiki". We are the world's largest manufacturer of Tiki mugs. We work with artist's steeped deeply in the lowbrow art movement... Shag, Von Franco, The Pizz, Flounder, Mitch O'Connell, Dirty Donny, Derek Yaniger, Sam Gambino, Squid, Ken Ruzic, Ernie Keen, Crazy Al, Doug Horne, Thor, Jimmy C, Mr. G, Drew Brophy, Kevin Kidney, Jody Daily, Rick Rietveld, Thor, Big Toe, Benzart, Tiki Diablo, Joe Vitale, Donella Vitale... the list goes on.We (meaning me & all of my fellow Tiki Freaks) throw some pretty amazing parties and surround ourselves with the most loveable group of nuts you've ever met with seas of perfectly coiffed 1950's inspired hair-do's, colorful tattoo's & most all are drunken lovers - no fighters. If you're ever in San Clemente, CA, stop on by & we'll give you the tour of the place & you can check out our Bamboo Ben built Tiki Bar, "Mugoomba".You can find our mugs pretty much all over the globe... in gift shops, resorts, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, concert venues, etc.. We have been commissioned by 100's of different bars & restaurants to produce custom designs as well as the designs we are known for which we sell on our website. Our mugs have become very collectible with older designs fetching unheard of sums on eBay when they become available. Some of our past commission clients have included Disneyland, Mattel, Fender Instruments, Marriott, Emeril Lagassi, Ron Jon, Carroll Shelby, Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcomber, Appleton's, Hard Rock Hotel, House of Blues and many others.We've got a 1954 GM Bread delivery truck being pimped out into a Tiki Lounge on wheels by West Coast Customs. There is also a collector's guide coffee table book on our mugs coming out in late 2008. We're pretty much crazy busy every day but every day is a blast at Tiki Farm!Please check-out Tiki Farm at Tiki Farm MAHALO! Check out my friends at Tiki Bar TV (www.tikibartv.com)... ..
