Exotica Moderne (Issue 28)

Magazine: Exotica Moderne 

Issue: #28 

For fans of: modern tiki artists, desert exotica, and immersive island living.

Exotica Moderne Issue #28 is a whirlwind ride through tiki temples, tropical flavors, and vibrant subculture—crowned with fantastical cover art by Ken Ruzic, originally created for the InferOhana event at The Inferno Room.

Inside, you'll join Ray “Tiki With Ray” Wyland on a tour beginning in Tucson, while Kevin Quigley explores tiki favorites in Las Vegas. The journey continues as Vincent R. Vinci uncovers exotic tiki bars in Beijing, and Jayme Lynn Blaschke spotlights Uncharted, the artist-run oasis by Jason Straughan (The Boozy Doodler).

Anna Maria Sophia Cancelli contributes two rich features—one on the cultural symbolism of the iconic Peacock chair, and another on the exotica act VibeXotica and their collaboration with the Cape Fear Parrot Sanctuary.

In the kitchen, Tiki Lindy serves up banana-forward recipes both sweet and savory, while Justin Cristaldi drops into Rita’s Lost Weekend, a Brooklyn-based home tiki bar with serious flavor.

As always, Exotica Moderne delivers music reviews, stunning visuals, and original cocktail recipes to keep your tiki spirit alive.
