With the glut of vanity license plates, this gets me wondering if there is a demand for vanity mugs. Most of us have seen the Don the Beachcomber mug, the Sven Tiki mug, Hawaiian Idols, etc. So has anybody ventured to make a vanity mug based on their own face? It might be kind of like Googling yourself. |

Good concept for a thread. Here's what would have been a TRUE Sven-Tiki "Vanity" mug (Squid and Holden, brace yourself!): It was a valiant attempt by Squid to create my likeness, and the concept of my face breaking out of a Moai was actually very cool.....but what would one be left with? My face! ....and who but me and my parents would get a kick out of that! ...WHICH, if I try hard enough, is not THAT far away from my actual mug, as evidenced in this classic Tiki Ti "mug" shot with me and the Bum from a couple of years ago: |

I think this design could've worked with a little tweaking. The problem is that, other than the ears, there's really nothing to suggest you're breaking out of a moai. If squid had sculpted moai-ish features over a small portion of your face in the same ultra-realistic style, it would have been very effective. |

i'd have to agree on that note. It looks more like someone actually carved your face INTO the moai. |
