OK, I'll step up to the plate.
Bravo BigBro for having the nerve to say it like it is. Very brave and nice of you. Who wants to hear critisism no matter how constructive it's intended. Beachin know this first, I'm no artist, what I am about to say is just a consumers opinon based on seeing your website. Never having held one your pieces in my hand I don't know if they feel any different than how they appear to me from your images online.
K, here goes...
I like a few of your pieces, they have a sense of humor about them I really like. I also think they look like they might be a little cumbersome to handle. And maybe the ceramic texture might be a little too ruff on the lips to drink from. I guess thats what straws were invented for. But those are my own issues with mugs I personally like to use. I am also one of the folks that like the more subtle earthtone types of mugs. I do like your volcano bowl and the ultra-white big nippled wahine, but with the 195.00 price of the bowl there is just no way I will buy it, not at Oasis at least (not that they aren't worth every penny). It's price is way outta my league. So my answer is No. Not that I wont ever buy one, but I have passed by too many other artists for far too long and have my big $$ items already planned out. I still say stay true to your vision. ~ Sincereley ~ CheapAss DawnTiki
