Your Pleas and Whines have gone unanswered long enough!The Mugs are here and ready to occupy Tiki bars all over the planet!
Thought up and drawn by yours truly,sculpted by that Master Artisan Squid,and produced and checked and double-checked by Holden...they are nothing short of
You can get these beauties at http://www.tikifarm.com
And here they are!
Oops! wrong one....that was GROG's sad,but beautifully realized attempt to cash in on the mug craze....
Okay....let's try again!
wahines and kane may i introduce you to......Oli-Oli
Look! They can even levitate! :D
the front is highly hyper-detailed with tikis within tikis within tikifaces! Even the handles
are covered in tikis! like Gremlins,but without the bad hair! And if that's not enough, Holden and I took a chance and decided to give you all the equivalent of 2 fine art prints glazed into raised medallions on the sides! (these were a bear to get the colors and everything just how we wanted 'em-but good things come to those who wait! They're ZA-ZING!
Oli’Oli is 9” in height and holds 22 oz.
Oli-Oli means "Very Happy" by the way....
a 22 oz. Mai-Tai will make anybody happy i imagine :D:D:D
Here's a better view of the 2 tropical palm scenes on this happy happy mug!
next up is KaKaKa,which means "Long-Breathed god of.....i forgot! (some PLACE...)
hence the blowing "O" of the mouth.
The breath to me represents the breath of life and especially, creativity. So I put two phases of creativity on the sides....
the gentle rush of the waterfall,and the violent,explosive burst of an idea...
Kakaka measures 8” in height and holds a commanding 34 oz.
Major Coffee Buzz! Now i only have to drink 3 cups of coffee on my days at the studio!
And last,but surely not least,is Pupule!
Pupule means "crazy,reckless,wild" I just decided to picture him the moment before he goes crazy,with all the anger and emotion seething inside of him!
(He also captures the grumpy look i wear every morning before slogging off to work!)
On the sides i pictured two cannibal/headhunter huts,mostly because eatin people and shrinking heads is pretty crazy,reckless,and wild,y'know?
Pupule is 7” in height and holds 26 oz....that's a lotta beer for you Bamboo Bens out there!
And no set of mugs would be complete without a 9x12 open line print of the fronts of these babies! Display it with your mugs,or anywhere that needs a little sprucing up!printed on a heavy gloss stock!
They are signed and I'll even write a little something on the back if you want!
They're $15 and the price includes shipping! I only made 300 of these and already
sold around 50,so ACT NOW! before they run out! :lol:
If you'd like one,shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]
thanks so much to all of you for your enthusiastic and friendly comments!
i hope you all like these mugs because i would like to do some more of them
for the ohana in the future! :)
And Thanks again and again to Holden and Squid for helping make this dream come true!
