I love this one too, you're doing some beautiful work Squid. The guy in the crate reminds me of the movie "Creepshow"! How long have you been making this sort of stuff - did you start straight into mugs, or were you carving and sculpting in other media first?
I feel so isolated down here sometimes - you guys with your mugs and your exhibtions and your tiki festivals....:cry:

Hey Paipo-
Thanks for the "attaboy". Before I started 3-D stunt-doubling for Shag and a major chunk of the Tiki Farm designers, I sculpted for a couple of ceramic mold companies (Color Me Mine kinda crapola) and a ceramics company called The Potting Shed http://harelooms.ieasysite.com/_ihnextras/bvc2/default.aspx?

Yes, I sculpted cute little Santas and bunnies and snowmen and oh so happy, frolicky things, oh my! And you thought Creepshow was scary!!! But we all gotta pay those bills, eh?

Don't feel isolated my friend. Holden and I hooked up via eBay to start Tiki Farm back in 2000 and I was in Kansas at the time! Where do you think the "Farm" part came from? :)
