SEE how I spend my weekends and meet some other Florida artists...including the tiki chainsaw artists at TikiHedz and my artist sister
Sherrie St. James-Bastien!
I'm your friendly dreadheaded Native Florida Folk Artist that specializes in funny bar signs, tiki bar wall hangings and mermaids like you used to see in Old Florida bars, beach bars and fun Florida places.
I consider myself something of a tribute artist, but through some of the classics you'll see some of my distinctly original work. I'm collected by many bars, restaurants, marinas and people who have or decorate tiki bars, beach houses and outside grilling spaces. My work is fun and makes a great gift. If you're on the West Coast I'd be glad to invite you to my simple under the palms beachside studio or meet you at a beach bar for a beer. My red Jeep CJ5 serves as my mobile studio. I might too bring Sadie the Sales Pug-- but beware. She's got some compelling selling skills!
Everything on this site is sold and living in some fun places. I do usually have a 100 piece inventory I use for doing shows. Use the form or email at the end to write me about what I have on hand. I take personal and custom orders. If you're a place that would like to sell my work, write me and we'll work something great out. I'm friendly and easy to work with. No attitude at my latitude...which is currently right on the beach.
Please use the links above and to the side to look at my work.
