Al, you are one of a kind...... Did I really fire you? On another note I thought you did a masterful Job at Caliente, and at Mojave, so thank you for that. We expect nothing less then amazing for Goin Primitive!We know you wont disappoint us.

On the Mug, I would like to think we are just spreading the love. You are an amazing Carver, Squid,Babalu, Wendy, Tikidiable, Gecko, Kirby, Gogo and Danny, Eric October, Tiki Farm and their designers and others, I can't even name all the artists who Mugs I have in My collection.

Rory and I for our new event together wanted to go with someone we didn't use in our own events to keep them separate. We wanted to use someone we like and think has moved to the level of doing a run of event Mugs..... Grog was our man! His Mugs of late have been amazing, fun, whimsical and different. His rendition of the Original art is amazing and we are proud of him as an artist and honored that he would accept a job taking on someone Else's art. Very hard indeed for any great artist. We are excited to promote him and his amazing Mug.

Of all the years I have been in Tiki and of all the art, Mugs, Tikis, etc I have bought, I am always happy when someone tries something new and does good. It keeps me excited and is a great addition to the tried and true heavy hitters who started this hobby, made it what it is and inspires the rest of the pack
