Great work!Your colors have an nice ol'school happy feeling! That tongue is hilarious!Your pieces are definetely worthy of display at these kind of events! Beautiful! Good Luck at that Strangers Show next Sunday!Speaking of painted mugs-Recently saw the Mr.G mug at TikiFarm HQ and it looks so tight! Crazy precise pinstriping and the brown surface has a beautiful texture with the most perfect brown! Photos do not do it justice! The TikiFarm mugs that were painted for DaTiki and his DvA gallery show were bisque fired clay and sent out plain white for the participants to decorate-maybe there's a stigma against just embellishing a mug as opposed to going about it in a traditional artistic way(ie: treating the white surface as a gessoed surface and painting it accordingly).Maybe those pieces are more valuable because the mugs were fired for that specific event and purpose... I dunno,what do other TC ers think? To paraphrase Hewey "I ain't no expert,but...." hope this post helped. Here's a link to those TikiFarm DvA Gallery mugs...
