Very cool mug designs! "The Headhunter" (as intended) looks a lot like the Ren Clark "Severed Head" which is a big favorite for all of us mug collectors. Can't go wrong with that.

I really like your version of "The Zombie." It's a vicious zombie. Most of the other zombie mug designs have faces that look like they're stupefied, but yours looks like he's ready to bite.

The "Buried At Sea" reminds me of Queequeg's Coffin out of Moby Dick...the one that Ishmael uses as a life preserver at the end of the novel. I'd vote for a version with some Maori designs carved on it to go the whole way. Maybe build up the base to look more like some cresting waves that are carrying the coffin along.

Thanks for the pics!
