Well Aloha Everyone! What a weekend! First, the Crazy Al show on Friday with Squid, Al, and the Menehunes jammin/then on Sunday I was able to give GROG, Squid, and family a tour of the Studio in Orange,then there was the MUGOOMBA grand event,but the best was yet to come! Squid had the 3rd Sculpt in his car! He dropped it off to Holden during the MUGOOMBA event,and I got to touch it! Wow! It was a Wonder to Behold! here's some shots,some fuzzy because....well.....we were at a tiki BAR opening! FRIENDS AND FAMILY....I'd like to introduce you to KAKAKA! The name is loosely derived from some Hawaiian long-winded/long-breathed god of somethin or other and this design will be the middle guy between HUHU'-the mad,angry mug, and OliOli'-the overly happy gent. As you can see, 3 of the major personalities of the intoxicated are represented here....Enjoy!


Here's a 3/4 view so you can see the medallions that go on each side of the handle.Inside these, I will be drawing cool little tropical scenes in colors tonal to the mug colors. KAKAKA will have a volcano and a waterfall, representing the fiery diatribes or flowing inspired speech of the intoxicated....


Squid is such the master-these are 95% just like the original drawings,with only minor, minor changes, due to the technical stuff.Brilliant!
Here's a sketch of the handle...

and here's a MaiTai version of the handle(try squinting....)

And here's Squid with the OOOOOOOOOPS! Look how Honkin Big that thing is! Anyone up for a Tiki Beer Stein?(Actually,it shrinks 15% so Sir Squidley has to compensate for that...)

Here's Dave after the Beatin' I gave him for breaking the Mug! (Actually, that's the way they have to carve it for the mold...) (But I really did Beat him up....Honest!)

That's all! Show's over for now folks! More pix as we get more done!
Hope you like 'em so far and will buy a few sets when they're finished! The more of these that sell, the more likely I'll be able to do more mugs with these Geniuses! And that would make Little Lost Tiki very Happy, and you want Little Lost Tiki to be happy,right?
Again, Mahalos Holden and Squid! These are turning out Beautiful!
