Howdy all you Holly-lovin’ Hepcats!! Stock up on nogs and grab a stack of logs ’cause the Holidays are happenin’ in no-time flat! Since The Fat Guy will be makin’ the scene so soon…it’s time to scratch off the list the names you may have missed! Mr. Retro has a little somethin’ for all you cats and kittens! New stuff just added, so dash thru the snow, Daddy-O and grab what you need before some other elf beats ya’ to it!!

The first item for your consideration…a brand new limited edition serigraph entitled “Hungover Hank”…..we all know just how Hank feels….probably shoulda’ said “NO” to that last quart of nog! Just the thing to add a little zing to any cocktail kooks home bar!!


Next up…a VERY limited edition silkscreen on wood…”Papua Fisherman” They turned out right swell I must say! Every one is signed and numbered and ready to hang in the tiki hut of any tiki nut on your list! Only printed up 25 of these beauties so don’t dilly or dally, Pally!

And now for all you hooch hounds who dabble in the fine art of mixology…The Derek-Designed “Classic Cocktail Set”! Of all the pieces I have designed for mug-makers over the year’s this Tiki Farm pitcher and mug set is far and above the ding-dong-daddy of ‘em all!!
And that’s sayin’ somethin! Using a sand blasting technique that actually carves the design into the ceramic, this Cocktail Set is a real beaut! It comes in a signed and numbered display box with two mambo-sized Tiki Farm swizzles….If that don’t flip your lid then your wig is screwed on way too tight!! Only a fistful of these left so….GO!



And lastly….Mr. Retro has added two more of my wildly popular sketchbook originals! A super swell way for you shirts n’ skirts to get your mitts on a Derek original without havin’ to sell the farm to do so! Here’s a look-see at the ones they added…


Okay….one more thing to lay on ya’….A friend of mine who goes by the name of Rick Goldschmidt just released a new book and it is a real gone gasser!! You cats will dig it the MOST! Rick is the historian and biographer of Rankin Bass Production! His tome, entitled “The Enchanted World of Rankin Bass ” is a must for all lovers of the great Rankin Bass shows like Rudolf, Frosty, and my personal fave, Mad Monster Party! Bop on over to Miser Bros. and scoop one up for your own good self! Here’s a peek at the cover….

Okay Hipsters…that’s all I gots for now! In the next couple of weeks I’ll be adding some new Christmas card art along with my take on “Rudolf” entitled “Rudy the Red-Nosed Barfly”….she’s a hoot I tells ya! May all your holidays be bright and out of sight!
