THIS is a ( 4 x 6 ) 1990s PHOTO of Original Tiki Revival Artist BOSKO as painted by his Friend and Art School Classmate, MARK RYDEN.

This painting was hanging up at BOSKO's TIKI BAR at one of his original TIKI PARTIES in the early 1990s

Mark Ryden (born January 20, 1963) is an American painter who is considered to be part of the Lowbrow (or Pop Surrealist) art movement.

He was dubbed "the god-father of pop surrealism" by Interview magazine.

 Artnet named Ryden and his wife, the painter Marion Peck, the King and Queen of Pop Surrealism and one of the ten most important art couples in Los Angeles.

Ryden's aesthetic is developed from subtle amalgams of many sources, from Ingres, David and other French classicists to Little Golden Books.

Ryden also draws his inspiration from anything that will evoke mystery: old toys, anatomical models, stuffed animals, skeletons and religious ephemera found in flea markets.

He designed artwork for prominent musicians including Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator", Michael Jackson's Dangerous (1991) and Red Hot Chili Peppers' One Hot Minute 

If you’ve never heard the name Bosko Hrnjak, you’re not alone. But in the world of tiki, the Escondido artist is a legend.

Hrnjak, 55, is widely credited with leading the revival in tiki bars and tiki culture that took off in the 1990s and is still going strong. 

His place in tiki history will be celebrated Saturday at the Hollywood premiere of the new film “Bosko and the Rebirth of Tiki.”

Film producer Robert S. Wilson said he hopes his 30-minute documentary will give Hrnjak the national recognition he deserves.

“Bosko is really a pioneer in the world of tiki and a true artist in every sense of the word,” Wilson said. “A lot of people are now following in his footsteps.”

“Bosko’s not what you’d expect,” Mattila said. “He’s this really charming Hanna-Barbera type of character … not this lonely artist brooding guy. 

He’s really warm and inviting and he became my spirit guide.”

The movie will feature interviews with some of the tiki world’s top names, including author and historian Sven Kirsten and Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, whose cocktail books and barware helped revive the popularity of tiki drinks.
