NOTE: THIS SALES EVENT HAPPENED IN 2005, THERE CURRENTLY ARE NONE AVAILABLE VIA TC:

My dear fellow mug hunters and collectors-

I am happy to finally announce open ordering for my line of KONTEMPORARY IDOL mugs. I am doing this low-tech: You can view the mugs below, and then e-mail your order to ......

I will collect all orders, and my kiln will take about 4 weeks to manufacture them, plus a week of shipping to me. I will notify you once they arrived, you pay me (PayPal preferred), and I send them to you.

From Left top to bottom right:

TARINGA $40.-/ FUNNY FACE $40.-/ BAMBOO FACE $50.-/BUCKY $40.-/TAMI MASK $40.-

FEATHER FACE $69.-/ KU REEF BOWL $69.-/ MAORI MUG $69.-/ RONGO $50.-/
HYPNO FACE $40.-

AND, for the first time, introducing the LAMOUR Bowl (named after how we would have LIKED to have seen Dorothy). This bowl’s concept demonstrates how man’s obsession with Sex will lead to alcoholism: When the bowl is full the Wahine’s breasts are hidden, revealing themselves only as the tropical nectar is sipped away! Yummy!

I shied away from introducing this solid, whopping 12 inch diameter bowl because of it’s cost, but some of you said they will be able to pay the 89.- bucks (!) I will have to ask for it. So, sorry for the price, but here it is.

Also new: The JANUS Bowl. Yet another version of the uniquely Spanish Tiki mug concept of dry Ice drink presentations. Here the two Maori style faces are the containers for the dry ice, keeping the potion in between cool and imbuing the cocktail with an otherworldly fog.

This bowl is not a big as the others, only 6 inches in diameter, and can be had for 50.- Dollars.

And last, another favorite of mine, the PICASSO mug. Based on the African mask below, it clearly shows the kinship between primitive art and the moderns. The graphic style of this tall 7 inch, 3 inch diameter mug makes him unique among his peers. A good piece for 40.- Dollars:

I regret to announce that this order will likely be the last for the year of 2005, I will be too busy the second half of the year shooting TV in Germany, but I plan to fully establish the “Sven A Kirsten Gallery for the Kontemporary Idol”, Kon-Id, the beginning of next year, and all these will then be available on a proper web site.

All the mugs will of course be properly stamped with the Kon-Id Gallery logo:

I would like to turn my order in by next Tuesday, so please try to make your decisions by the end of this weekend, Monday the latest.
