Being probably your biggest supporter here (was)and giving you mad props and linking your sites that sell your products, I'm taken back alittle.

" Had he asked first it would be a different story. Further more, I don't know how many he intends to make not to mention I have plans in the works to do a Tiki Dawg mug of my own"-Hassan

You know it was a Christmas gift so that wasn't an option. And yes you do know how many I will make. Zero. In the aftermath, (after Christmas) the only thing that I wouldn't be able to help you out with is asking you first. But I did ask you first before going public. About selling them, you know that I wasn't cause I told you I wasn't.

It was no secret to you or TC for I posted about it (this mug)long ago (as well as the emails to you). But you wanting to make tiki dawg into a mug, that is news to all today. And it would seem like you are mad that you had to say, which you didn't. But congrats.

I am not sure if you, Hassan, have already made your Tiki DAwg into a mug form but I, as well as other would love to see it. Personally I don't think it can be made easily. I would be pleased to see this assumtion proved wrong.

As for buying your art, my "cheap imitation" and "stupid card" will probably go elsewhere. If its great art, I can look past the artist to see good art and may desire it.

I too am done with this discussion.
And thinking about it yesterday the mug is still going to be a favorite of mine. Not for the fact that it was a five sec doddle from a guy that I personally think his other tikis have zero luster, almost that Florida style tiki that are sold daily on Ebay but from where this mug came from.

It was a gift from my favorite artist/person, my dad, and the reasons for creating reach far beyond money which has very little to do with real art in my opinion.
