Bosko - Episode 31

This week on The Tiki Talk Show, Ryley and Ellie talked with Bosko Hrjnak, one of the first artists to revive tiki art from just appreciation to application. Bosko got his start in the mid-80s as the first artist to sculpt full size tikis after the art had faded from popularity and the public eye when tiki fell out of fashion. Ever since, Bosko has been using his creativity to carve and sculpt 3D tikis, ceramic tiki mugs, and wall decor for the Polynesian Pop enthusiast. He draws clear inspiration from William Westenhaver of Witco Designs and Rolly Crump, the Disney Imagineer, but Bosko’s designs are truly one of a kind. In the interview we talk about his work creating art, designing his home tiki bar, and the work he has done on several commercial bars.

You can find Bosko at tikibosko.com to purchase his art, mugs, and more; or commission a custom work of your own. You can find his on Instagram @tikibosko. And be sure to check out his documentary Bosko and the Rebirth of Tiki if you haven’t seen it yet!
