Hello Kids!
First-some replies...
Brad,
I would be honored if you had a set of these in your collection!
HiphipaHula,
I can already hear you bugging me for a customized mug set! :lol:
Hopefully the swaying palms will lull you to sleep every so often!
McTiki,
Three mugs will be tough to explain to the wife....
tell her it's for a charity for a boy with mental problems!
(all true except for the "charity" part!)
Biff,
I don't need to thank you...

1. I've done that enough already
2. you'll see in a minute....
   Freddie,
   I can hear you hittin me up for some customs too! Sheesh!
   You mug people are insane... :lol:
   TikiShopPua,
   Thank you so much! You'll see them very soon in 3-D!
   Thanks for the congrats,but we should also give a big shout out to
   Holden and Squid who made it real,straight from dreamland!
   Shani!
   Hello beautiful! I missed you! Just hearing your name makes me smile!
   Thanks for smiling! I'll toast you long distance when these go public!
   Thank you all! I'm really glad you like them,and glad we could
   bring you something so unique and special! Now back to business.....
   well the medallion art was sent off...and now the waiting....
   But in the meantime,I am custom painting a PUPULE mug for Biffachu!
   Seeing as Mr. Biff did all the spot color seps and color adjustments and
   made them all beautiful in a little more than a week;what better way to
   thank an old friend than by giving him a PRICELESS WOIK of ART!
   He hasn't even seen these photos yet! In fact I'm gonna PM him
   after I post this!
   Well, the story behind this PUPULE was it was one of the glaze examples
   we had that was a bit too syrupy to catch all the details! So, the colorway
   of black and gold was decided,mostly because I looooves those old
   70's ashtrays with those colors.Plus it was a macho enough colorway to
   impress the man who brought us the World Famous Tiki Fireplace!
   (Stafford helped too!) Well anyways, I still have a session or two on this
   with the layers of glaze and touch-ups and whatnot, but here it is so far!
   Ladies and Gents.....PUPULE NEGRA!
   Well, that's as fancy a name as I could think of tonight....
   Here's a front on view...
   
   Three Quarter view...
   
   Here's a bit of the back...
   
   Here's the back,almost straight forward! I just love the guy on the handle!
   He looks like he's up to something mischievous!
   
   Here's a view of the name,that I placed behing the handle...
   
   And now for some details!
   
   
   and one last one!
   
   Hope you enjoyed this week in Mug Awareness! And PM Holden
   and tell him you want Ken to design at least 10 more mugs! Thanks! :)
