Guys- All this philosophizing about mass market taste versus creative freedom is very nice, but what we should provide for "Beachin" right now is a cold hard look at if she will sell enough of her 400 mugs at Tiki Oasis.

BigBro...will it put your mind at ease to know that upon the suggestions of yourself and many others, I will NOT be lugging 400 pieces to Oasis? I've already bought the tickets, but will not be investing any more money to make the trip. I don't want you to worry too much about the financial aspects, because this discussion has saved me a LOT of grief (and money).

I will bring a few items on the plane with me and leave the others at home. I'm definately bringing a few pirate mugs with me. As for the others, PurpleJade and I talked extensively last night about the logistics of selling at Oasis. She's offered to help me with that.

You taking the time with this is quite nice. Yes, I know your book (don't we all?) and yes it was an inspiration. I became an artist though for so many reasons, and was introduced to BOT by my ceramics instructor who saw my art and thought I might share the same interests. It's a very nice collection you have published there, and it's enjoyable to peruse.

I doubt you meant to spark such a topic with your advice on my art, but don't you agree that it's been a nice experience? And rest assured, the knowledge I've gained will help my financial situation. I know now what to expect.

Stress less. Worry more about that poor guy running a Tiki Bar without a clue. Scary, huh?
