Tiki Talk - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - This piece is a Monochrome study for what was expanded upon to become "Lil' Lanai Off Molokai". It focuses on the carved Tiki's which almost seem to be having a conversation of their own! Many times, I do studies like this that become under-paintings, where color and further details are layered upon. This works as a composition alone and I was encouraged by several collectors to publish these monochrome studies in the earth tones they were created in.

Magik of the Tiki Maker - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - The “Magik of the Tiki Maker” is about the mysterious powers and “magik” conjured by the tiki carver. This is their domain. The setting is dusk and we see the outrigger loaded full of the carved creations. A magical glow radiates from the hull of the outrigger at the end of this inlet, which will be ridden down the jungle river in the morning to the little village where these tikis will be sold.
Let's Mai Tai at the Moai - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - The drum beat of the jungle tribes sets the melody for the crashing surf, and the deep base rumble of the powerful volcano across the valley.

Huntington Pier Pressure - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - Set on the sands just below Huntington Beach Pier, in CA, creative magic happens here. This person has traded the typical "pressures" of their life for "Pier Pressures" that are hardly pressures at all! With a deep passion to turn California Palm trees into enchanted Tiki’s, a faithful dog waits for the signal to take these creations via vintage dune buggy to sell to some very lucky buyers on the pier.
