Howzit peopo,

I've been bizzy doing 3 things at once. Carving, ceramics and da buisness side of da house. I just sold a trunk full of mugs to Kaponos at da Aloha tower. It's for da Don Tiki show on da 13th. I can't wait to see dem braddahz again. A great show dey get.

anyways, aloha braddah Benzart! tanks fo da email. As you see I always stay busy. I finally spent a couple of hours last nigt at LaMariana for a few drinks with friends.

anyways heres da pics. I know you peopo here love pics so here you go.

dis is me at da local ceramic spot. I don't really collect newer design mugs. I love da classics. So, dis wahine here has some original molds from terra ceramics when they sold out there stuff. I used 2 of da molds to create some stuff myself.

This is me at da table waiting for da molds to be ready fo open.

While I'm waiting fo da molds I started painting one I already fired. Now it's ready fo da paint.
