They are more likely to sign things that they have made themselves. Not things made by others. Can you understand the difference?

Probably true, but that is just because tribute items are hardly ever done.

And Squid signing his own mugs (which he has done a number of times) is this an example of made themselves.

Now think of Swampfire signing one of his mugs. It was his design but the other half of the credit goes to Squid who is an artist in the fact of bring an 2-d one perspective shot into something that can be viewed 360 degree (in every direction).

That tiki dog in ceramic has a back view, side view (times 2) top view and bottom view that my dad created. Hassan never created a back view to that dog. The little tail is the best touch to the whole mug.

Gecko did a mug to tribute Martin Denny. The coolest idea at the time and even better today. Martin Denny didn't make the mug, didn't even design the mug, but he signed the card.
That was the idea that I was going for.
