I'm know it wasn't purchased from LaMariana. I can't believe they painted over it? They should have just sold it as it is without that burgandy paint. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this happen. That would be like buying one of my carvings or someone elses work here and then chizled out a few new lines and added a little paint, bamboo, or stain and then said this is a new tiki painting, carving, bar or what eva by so and so and then said it was their special limited verision of it??? It's kinda funny at the same time? What can I say? This is America....they can buy and re-sell, but to paint over it and say it's a hand painted mug by them and one of a kind?? wow. Yes I do work hard braddah Fill and that's why I'm going to go pull them off the shelf from where I think they were tooken from just incase they are feeling artistic again. These will be available to TC members at only $11. I'm just going to move these out. I'll try to get them ready by this weekend guys. That's it! I'm going to post my Book of Tiki on ebay and I think I'll write a few extra verses in it in pigon and say it's the new limited edition version of the book of tiki by Sven and Gecko now available in pidgon! Mahaloz well, let'em sell it and make a dollar. They payed $15 for it...it won't go over $30. I'll bet my hand painted Tiki Diablo mug by Gecko. shoootz peopo
