ALoooHA you mad muggers! A few weeks ago I was fortunate to talk story wit da boyz at KreepyTiki & Tiki Squad... Loon, one bad a$$ talented carver from the southern sunshine state shaking a wooden totem through jungle grass of a fez-headed Diki Tiki...scaring the natives, but that's a different post altogether!!! :wink: So get this, Loonatiki created 'Kohonuo' a sick mug introduced at Hukilau06, right...? Oh yeah if ya aint got it, your losing out ona one sweeet mug! http://www.myspace.com/loonatiki NOW he shows up AGAIN at Hukilau07 with a NEW venture Tiki Squad. He's offering up these snappy fresh mudders with attitude, Lil' Pook and Moee sharp & crisp as a mint greenback! These are top shelf solid drinking vessels and look damn good in any collection! So now he rips into a creative tale of his homeboy Beon... now catch this, Beon is yet ANOTHER talented artist with a yen to turn the collectible tiki mug world on it's head??? WHAT! YEAH, that's right...Loon said, "I was all proud of my Lil' Pook and asked Beon what'cha got?" Well, Beon presents: Lokura Now folks this is where it getsa little tricky. Lokura all glazed up in bright SoBe deco blue is a piece of work... at first he kinda has a modern bumatay bug-eye look, BUT WAIT? It's not justa nutter pot-bellied fish-eyed tiki mug... NO SIR-EEEEE! :D This is a totem-style mug (Two heads are better than one) the pie-eyed champ atop the toothy ear-to-ear smiling head below...everywhere you look on this mug sharp, clean lines, DEEP CARVES and details, Details, DETAILS!!! C'mon... I mean krikey! look at the backside of this baby... a thicket of bamboo with a signature logo head peeking out!!! THEN look at the DEEP DEEP DEEP CARVES in and around the eyes, lips and other HUGE UNDERCUTS! :o A moldmakers nightmare!! :o and these guys are mass producing this what would normally be a one-off design! :D More power to the AMAZING TIKI SQUAD!!!
