Mixed Media Paper Sculpture including
Archival Digital Prints, Colored Paper,
Handmade Tiki Paper, Acrylic Paint
 
Artist Dave Avanzino has created this fun Tiki Bar Sign for a place called, “Tiki-A-Saurus -Jurassic Bar.”  A fun-loving Tyrannosaur peaks out from behind a bush where he’s seen holding the bar’s signature cocktail - “The Flaming Meteor Mai Tai.” Little does he know it’s the “Drinktion to Extinction.”  
 
Hand-painted original artwork is created for each of the elements in the sign. These paintings are scanned and reproduced as archival digital prints. Once they are mounted onto heavy paper they are hand-cut, the edges all painted to match, and assembled by the artist into the dimensional scene.  The completed artwork is set in a shadowbox frame that comes ready to hang. Each piece is completely handmade by the artist, numbered and signed.
