    This is a POSTCARD featuring the
    TIKI ART of BRAD PARKER titled "DRACULA DRINKS A MAI TAI"
    Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897. As an epistolary novel, the narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles.
    It has no single protagonist, but opens with solicitor Jonathan Harker taking a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian noble, Count Dracula.
    Harker escapes the castle after discovering that Dracula is a vampire, and the Count moves to England and plagues the seaside town of Whitby.
    A small group, led by Abraham Van Helsing, hunt Dracula and, in the end, kill him.
    In Hawaii, Parker showed his works at the Kona Oceanfront Gallery in Kailua-Kona, where his pop surrealist paintings focusing on the Tiki theme were exhibited and sold.
    The art curators on the island were skeptical at first that his themes would sell, so he was first relegated to the back of the shop.
    As the paintings proved the better sellers of the art in the gallery, they eventually took on a featured position, including replacing the previous styles of paintings in the gallery window.
    His works blend popular culture items like Hollywood monsters, anthropomorphized house pets, and other alien elements into Tiki environments based upon Hawaiian landscapes.
    Parker states that he is making alternative representations of Tikis, and not producing the real thing, in order to avoid misrepresenting traditional Hawaiian indigenous culture
