Over the years that I've worked with Von Franco, it's always been one of my favorite things to do at Tiki Farm. He's a great friend and now we have an opportunity to lend our hard work to a project near and dear to us... simply put - Rum!! I'm going to ask that the proprietor post up here more about the rum itself - that's very important. It's a very nice quality rum per Franco (I'm yet to sample it) but for now, I wanna share a coupla things...

First up is the bottle. I think a clearer indication of the type of rum and then a companion stir stick featuring Franco's Tiki portion of the art/sculpt as the handle would be cool...

Your thoughts?

Next up I wanna share a sneak peak of the sculpt of the mug...

I've always liked Von Franco's style. It more so then a lot of other styles takes me back to my childhood of the 1970's and most specifically to thumbing through Mad Magazine and when I didn't have enough dough, I'd still fold over the back cover and then re-shelf it to the horror & dismay of my mom!

This is a very rootsy project and we would appreciate any feedback on it to make it as successful as possible during these crazy times.
