New Tiki Oasis Sideshow Banners by Thor

Some of you may have already picked these up from us at Oasis, but for those of you who couldn't make it, the Tiki Oasis banners featuring Marina the Mermaid, King Kukulele, Tana the Tattooed Lady and Crazy Al are up on Taboo Island now.

In full character with the 2010 Tiki Oasis Tenth Anniversary theme, "Extravaganza", Artist Tom Thordarson, better known as Thor, has created a series of epic stage banners through hand painted imagery and digital typography to celebrate four of Oasis' featured performers. These banners, capturing the character of both the performer featured and the hint of old style side show art served as both the stage backdrops in large scale and these mini poster prints to commemorate this special event.

New MeduSirena Art Line

Taboo Island is proud to announce our newest product line, the MeduSirena Line! It includes art and products featuring Marina the Mermaid and her MeduSirena Pod.

The most important thing about this new line is that a portion of each sale goes to the mermaids themselves so that they can fund their aquatic travels and help promote their wonderful but slowly disappearing dance form.

This new line includes pin up style photos as well as original art by Thor, with future products including t-shirts and more. As an added bonus, each print is also signed by the mermaid herself to make it that much more special. Here are a few teasers, but you can check out the full line here:
