AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER FROM GECKO'Z SOUTH SEA ARTS JUNE 14th ONLINE FROM BK AND AT HUKILAU 2007! The second mug design by me ever, the first in four years, and the first in an exclusive artist relationship with Gecko'z South Sea Arts! It is a very unique double-chamber "built-for-two" design, and features a handy-dandy flaming well between the two figures for your favorite 151! It will also feature the delicious "Basement's Bora Boiler" corresponding drink recipe, included with every mug! This mug also has a very unique story, as it began it's life as one my carved bone pendants! South Sea Arts was to produce three pendants and two mugs intially as part of the Basement Kahuna artist series, one of which was based on an ancient Marquesan fan handle image, the third pendant shipped to Gecko for production. Always with a keen eye for the different and a daring to produce the most highly unusual, vivid, traditional-to-Polynesia and highly difficult mug designs, the pendant immediately caught Gecko's attention and a phone call was placed back to me on the mainland. The conversation went something like this: Gecko: "Braddah, dat kine Marquesan pendant needs to be a mug!" Basement Kahuna: "You're crazy, man, but I like it! I'll have you drawings by tomorrow!" Gecko: "Den I'll have you a 3-D prototype in a week!" A mug is born!
