Sea Stallion Helo-Ha - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - Here is a tribute to some brave messengers of ALOHA. The crews & squadrons of the CH-53D Sea Stallion Helicopters from Hawaii just before this historical Helicopter was retired. I was commissioned by the U.S Marines, many that also collect my work in Hawaii, to consider doing a creative interpretation focused on these "Marines in the sky" from the Islands, enduring the heated sands of the Middle East. They needed something to dream of.

Tako Toes on the Nose - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - These guys can REALLY stick to their boards! Check out those very hip puka shells and pierced breathing nozzle!

Trader Hics - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - A few years back, I visited many old farm towns on the mainland. I wondered what would happen if some homespun farmer out there wanted to fool all his kin into thinking he had been to all sorts of exotic places and knew exactly how to create an “authentic Tiki Bar” in his barn? So I figured he might take all his old farming junk, his colorful imagination & talent for weaving tales about his adventures in Tiki and create this enchanted place!

Tikilixor Mai Tai Mixor - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - Imagine a 7 foot tall wooden Tiki that has six arms... all made from bamboo and built like a wooden geared clock inside and out that can be the perfect automated bartender, with ONE specialty... it makes the greatest Mai Tai’s on the Islands! It sits in a little pocket of the jungle just off the beach... anyone discovering the path to its whereabouts is truly in for a tropical concoction of rum heaven.
