Blue Hawaii Shimmylator - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - This celebrates the making of one of Hawaii’s signature cocktails, a Blue Hawaii. The drink gets its electric blue color from one of its ingredients, a liqueur called blue curacao. Visitors also know of the famous movie starring Elvis Presley called “Blue Hawaii” from the early 60’s. To create the perfect contraption to make a Blue Hawaii cocktail, I took elements from the Elvis movie like the bongo drums he played, surfboards etc.

At's A Moray - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - When the moon hits the sky...far above Molokai...At's a...Moray! Here we find a most unusual but enchanting love story. In the Hawaiian tide pools, one star lit evening, a hopelessly romantic female gecko falls deeply for the silly antics of this Moray eel. From two different world, this doesn't discourage their passion in the least. For now, these two will vow to meet here every eve...as long as the moon shall shine above.

Crescent Courtship - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - It’s a warm and misty Hawaiian evening on a calm and tepid tropical lagoon. The moon is large and golden with a crescent form that shimmers like liquid gold upon the gentle water’s surface. The smell of fresh plumeria fills the night air with magic and romance. Oblivious to place and time, they embrace each other gently, bathed in the warm candle’s light that contrasts perfectly with the cool trade-winds that fill the banana leaf sail.

Da Monkey Business - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - This is MY answer to who makes those coconut Monkeys! I imagined what the geckos would do...if they are, indeed the secret makers of the coconut monkeys. Hiding away in the thick tropical leaves, they carve and create. What a great business.! So, I painted this event for you to see, and called it, "Da Monkey Business". Enjoy! ~THOR

Hawaiian Hold 'em - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - Here is a sight you will only find on a Gecko peppered island where the urge to “ante up” meets ground level! The warm tropical breezes are laced with the scent of the cognac as the smokey haze from a rare Cuban cigar marbles the darkness and casts a warm amber glow. The dealer is a cunning little “braddah”. Wearing a pop top visor, he leans over the SPAM can table to deal the “turn.”
