Sorry to be a bit self-serving but I thought that I'd share these and hopefully get some feedback. http://www.tikifarm.com/html/newdesigns.htm On a separate note, regaring Black Suffering Bastard mugs that come up on eBay. I think the best thing that we can do is, of course - hope for ethical sellers, but when these situations arise it's best that we contact the bidders. Hopefully with a few, good frontal assaults on these auctions, unethical sellers might get the picture. I'm very stoked to be reproducing this classic mug - the result is nearly identical to the original. Here's one more slight variation from the original... The originals were done with ground mainland lava in the glaze. This won't fly by today's standards, so the result is nearly that of the old mug in terms of the surface texture. However, you will notice that there are some small areas where the texturing is more pronounced - the raised "splatter" effect almost creates for what look like "little black warts" ...truly a SUFFERING Bastard!
