Brad “Tiki-Shark” Parker is a lowbrow artist specializing in Hawaiian pop-culture, known for his vibrant reimagining of the “souvenir tiki.” Rather than depicting historically accurate figures, Parker celebrates the mythic, gift-shop version of tiki—a whimsical icon of vacation folklore, akin to the Easter Bunny or Jack-o’-Lantern. His mission is to elevate this kitschy symbol into a respected art form, blending fine art with the playful spirit of tiki pop. Through his work, he aims to restore charm, quality, and cultural shine to the forgotten corners of Hawaiiana.
