I agree with BigBro's initial post concerning this issue. In my own words, I like vintage style mugs (earthen tones, etc.) Your mugs have a very crude (not in a bad way), folk art feel to them and I'm sure there's a market out there for you. I'd be disingenuous if I told you I like the style, because it's not to my particular taste. Again, I like the vintage vibe. That isn't to say your stuff doesn't fit in. Tiki Farm does mugs that are in bright colors, and they wouldn't if it didn't sell. I have just recently started adding new kine mugs to my collection (mostly limited edition / bar specific), many of which are bright colors - Purple, blue, green, aqua. As others have said, the Pirate Mug is a great example of something that would do well with the folks here on TC and probably do well at Oasis, Hulilau, etc. I think the measuring stick as to how your goods will sell at Oasis is here on TC. If you've sold a lot to the folks here, then you may do well at Oasis. If not, maybe you won't. Tiki Mugs, Vintage, Tiki Bars, Carved Tiki Poles, Apparel and more!
