Red Tiki

The Red Tiki slaves were thrilled to get a very up-close-and-personal look at some letterpress and specialty finishing techniques, thanks to the friendly crew at Pilpel Print. We have always had an undeniable affection for the craft of letterpress, and never miss any opportunity to lovingly stroke some paper!

Although we don't have a uniform here on Red Tiki Island, like most people, we like to wear clothes. The Red Tiki King demands a high level of style from his slaves.
