Mugmakers, and I don't think of Tikifarm and Munktiki tiki fit into the individual classes just because they're companies that aren't one man doing it all.

TikiFarm- Best Cheap mug(cheap as in inexpensive), Most mugs sold, Most different art under one umbrella
Munktiki- Best mug crossover designs, Best Selection of styles by a single artist
Bosko-Best asymmetrical mugs, Best Vintage feel glaze (and isn't he like the Godfather of Modern mugs)
Tiki Diablo- Best use of mix media in a mug, Best multicolored mug
Tiki Tony- Best Cartoonish quality, Best packaging for mug, Best painted mugs
Crazy Al- Best mug from carving,
Gecko- Best glazes, Best bowls, Most expensive?
Rum Demon- Best fruit mugs, Best at doing different glaze for each mug
Vantiki- Best musical mug, Best sold hand-built mugs, Best use of mixed clays

I really love those Spanish mugs. They are so different from anything that we have here. They don't really look like any traditional tikis or styles, but they still have a tiki mug quality.

I would have to define their style has first multiply bright colors and second a mug that has no traditional style. They all have faces and extra detail work and then go with the extra step on Action.
"Action" would be the dry ice bubbling, or the 151 fire. Sometimes two or more separate compartments for dry ice. Thats a record, is there even an American mug with more than one place??
