Brad “Tiki Shark” Parker paints "Low Brow Art" about Modern Tiki Culture. He has worked in several types of media: writing, penciling, inking, coloring, and editing comic books from small publishers right up to the industry's leaders: Marvel and DC Comics.

When Brad moved to Hawaii from Hollywood, where he did production illustration for several movies, he started his own company ‘Tiki Shark Hawaii Inc.’ and began painting his interpretations of the Modern Tiki sub culture.

Brad's style is reminiscent of the old Flemish masters, but with counter culture subject matter from a childhood of adoring comic books, cartoons, and Universal monster movies. A unique American culture of television, comics, the Hawaiian craze of the 50's and 60's (plus its re-emergence as hipster-retro-kitsch), all go into the Polynesian pop-art of this new work.

"Tiki art is a whole new and old art form at the same time. It's the first abstraction of the human form and the birth of modern art, and it's the re-creation of wooden idols into the 20th century idols of recreation!" -- Brad Parker
