- EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK At the new Oceanic Arts book, Oceanic Arts; the Godfathers of Tiki! A Peekaboo Deep Dive book, from Peekaboo Gallery. See inside the book and hear my honest opinion about the price, about the story and the attempt at capturing the legacy of Robert "Bob" VanOosting and LeRoy Schmaltz, the two Tiki masters who revolutionized the world of Polynesian Pop by providing the link between the states and the islands, and grounding the Mid Century fantasy decor in a little bit more Island realism
The book is available at peekaboogallery.com
And if anyone has any old OA stuff they'd like to sell me or send my way by all means hit me up! See you at the auction!
My 2014 episode with Bob & LeRoy, boy how we've all changed!

I love that you are doing all you can to keep the history of tiki's, road signs, etc. alive. It's important for younger generations to preserve these pieces of Americana and history.
Hello from New Zealand/Aotearoa, Justin. I was last in LA in September 2019 and was due to return in 2020 but then covid happened. Hanging out to get back there and go to some tiki bars that I haven't yet been to. Very sad news to hear about Oceanic Arts closing. I was planning on going there when I next got back to the USA. Great informative video. I will certainly be buying the book.
I love this place! As an U. Of Hawaii student, I bleed “ tiki”- I think I’m a menehune at heart!
I hate to hear they closed! I grew up watching your channel and I loved watching the videos you filmed there. I’m only 20 now and I was never able to visit since I live so far away. At least their awesome legacy is preserved in the book!
You're not going into your surgery alone, Ali. We'll all be there with you in our thoughts, love and prayers. You'll do great!
That's great you inherited Adam's bamboo! Will hopefully fill a lot of that fence.
Okay, first of all, your hand carved posts look AWESOME! And second of all, why am I not surprised that Adam the Woo had rolls of bamboo laying around...anyway, carry on the Tiki legacy!
Praying for the best possible outcome for the surgery.
Thanks for sharing this! Tiki Art was part of my childhood as both me and my friends had tropical themed basement “family rooms” and or bedrooms. Good times and laughter were all part of the experience.
Praying for all of you especially Our Sweet Alley. .Stay Strong . Hugs from Tammy in PA
Man even growing up in SoCal, I never did get the chance to visit Oceanic Arts. With Don The Beachcomber closed, and now OA, I guess the Meccas are dissolving into history.
Prayers for Ally's surgery, she's such a sweet kid. You take care of her, Justin. Please keep us in the loop about her recovery.
Much love from Chicagoland!
You & Ally should try visiting Legoland sooner or later because they have the new "Aquarium Submarine Ride" where you can view fishes up close! Bubbling Futabasaurus!🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
I stumbled across the fact that they were closing a month or so ago and thought about telling you but figured you already knew and was in the process of making a video about it. I had just been telling a friend of mine about the place. We are both very far away (WV and PA) and never had the pleasure of going there. I'm delighted to hear about this book, however!
I pray your lady heals quickly from her coming surgery
Always look forward to, and love your video's. God bless Alley with her surgery, and you as well.
There was an old bar in the town I live in called "Cafe Caravan" that my parents said was sort of a Tiki/Jungle Bar/Lounge. It was closed down by the time I was old enough to drink. I do remember it had a mechanical giraffe sign outside where the giraffe head and neck would tip up and down. Last time I remember it being open was the early 80's. The building has since been torn down. I wonder if some of the stuff inside and out was manufactured at Oceanic Arts.
YES BACK IN CALIFORNIA!
Thanks for the preview! I can’t wait for these to land in port. It’s been so hard waiting for this book to deliver! Haha
Yes! That Lit. Is worth its weight in Gold or Coal!! So rich in history Chuck ☕👍
Great idea for Tiki carved supports Justin! Love some out of the box thinking. Sending good thought to you and Ally. Hope everything goes well❤️
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 🙏
The last tiki joint her on Oahu is La Marinas. It had the soul of the old days and the decor to go with it! Unfortunately, someone decide to re-model (don't know the final look but should have never been touched!
I have only been to OA a couple of times. I loved being there every time, so inspiring. I ordered this book and can’t wait to spend countless hours pouring over its pages. Thanks Bob and Leroy!🙏🗿
Justin, please know that you and Ally are in my thoughts and prayers, you both need healing....the road ahead will be hard but not difficult..Love, prayers and kisses.....
1st!! I usually visit the Whittier area mostly in the old town area. Shame Tiki Palace is closed to the public i've been hoping I would have gotten a chance to see it first hand. Kinda awesome your thinking of DIY tiki items. Hope the turn out well.
Thanks Justin, everytime I was in LA, I kept meaning to go the Oceanic Arts and now it's too late!! That's a beautiful book, bit out of my price range, just like Tiki items are these days! Your carvings are frikken awesome!!
Justin, you should have bought the Oceanic Arts business and continued this incredible lost art with your talent.
I wish I knew sooner about them. I am so into Tiki decor and collect it. I find a lot of my Tiki stuff at the Orange circle.
I love the Tiki Tiki Tiki Room!
Thank you for letting us know.❤️
Always makes a day a bit more interesting, love the videos.
I cant see any comments so I'm not sure if you'll even get this but nice job on the routing out of the 2x4. I always bought my bamboo poles there I' going to miss going in there.
Absolutely Awesome! You should check out the Mai Kai in Ft Lauderdale once they re-open!
Just ordered ours! So excited! Thanks for the info and our thoughts and prayers for you and Ally 🙏
Love it, can't wait to get my copy!
Sending prayers to you and Ally!!
Love and positivity to you and your lovely fiance you guys are great
SAD THAT THEY ARE CLOSED!
Plenty of prayers and good thoughts to you and Ally!!! You guys are the best!!!
I love how you explain history and I hate how history is going away I missed out everything since I left California and 2000 started sec i was 5 years old and I still remember everything of the 90s even though It didn't last long I still want to go back if I knew I was going to die in 20 years let me go back start in the 80s so I can end up 1999 but why should I miss out what's going on now but there something i hate what were livening in right now if everything goes back to normal I want us to start like we did 1980s and 1990s i don't have to miss out on everything no more
A lot of Randomland history in that building too! So many sometimes vlogs were done there. Wasn't there a puffer fish light you got there? And if I remember correctly you drew them a rad caricature for their tiki treasure collection right? Good times.
Loved the video Justin!
Love, love, love the flashbacks!
Pre-order is $145 😵 But it does look to be worth every penny.
So bummed we didn’t make it over there before it closed. 😭
Thanks!
thanks ... bought book .... so kool ....
There is diy product you can get that you literally paint on and use a heat gun it gives a burnt wood effect. That could look cool on a tiki.
What a bummer. I was just there
THAT'S A LOT OF TIKIS!
Awww bummer I really liked going in there business. They knew my late friend Dick Dale and the Del Tones.
"I kept saying, you should let me scan those photos and they basically said WHATEVER KID."
it's a Bummer they closed!
YOU'VE GOT A COPY! 😱
Absolutely love your man cave.
Wow, what a cool looking book.
RIP TIKI PALACE!
Thanks
had no clue two guys were responsible for so much tiki
That's a very cool book.
Great video
Would absolutely love this book but yikes, the price! 😬
Hope you’re getting a kick back because I just ordered mine!
Sad that all the cool places are disappeareing
Hey Justin, did Bob and LeRoy try to sell the business? I’m always curious when a business just decides to close versus selling it to someone else to continue the legacy. All the best to you and Ally! 👍🙏🏻
I used to carve tiki poles. One art show an obnoxious lady told me it was "cultural appropriation". I didn't have the cojones to tell her to f*off, which is what I would do today.
Please wear eye protection and hearing protection when routing!
you should visit Boise!!!!
I live 5 minutes away from there.
Just saw you in disney
Hey 👋 Justin.
You are a lucky man Justin, but I know you already know that. Take care.
If my wife has done the math rite to when you said .ally is having her procedure our prayers with her that she comes out well ..
Hello
Hey I'm first here. Love your videos.
🥺🥺🥺
I think the website is getting slammed. I'm trying to get a book and it's taking forever for the pages to load. 😄😄😄
Just saying, J.Scarred Oceanic Arts sounds like a good investment/idea!!! Hmmmm?!?!?!?
Hi
Never stop your tiki dreaming!
But now it's time to dream and pray for someone else.
Like we all are doing.
I AM WHAT I YAM Awesome!!! hahahaha
I’m the first yae ..good morning !
Are they closing for good?
It's only 25¢?
Very sad, the end of an era.
I really don’t want to be “that type of guy” but you should wear some glasses while using the router. Don’t mess around with your vision.
