JonesEy - it's so good to have you back from that iceberg you were traversing around on. Hey, I just got my copy of the book today :) Thanks again for your part in giving an clay dude a hand up brother....your "the" Man in Babalu's book!

There has been so much "damn fine" new work coming out of my studio lately; by so many different artists! I'm sure much of this work just missed deadline dates in order to have made it for consideration into this book....Ladies and Gentlemen,,,here's to the next book! There's always time for another mug book...let's start slinging some clay :)

LLT - The Tonga Show! You should make a some type of bowl...really! I can see some of you paintings in my mind done on the inside of a bowl...it's a marvelous thing to see.

Hey Wheeler, it's all - Always for sale. I'm taking this platter to the Tonga Hut Show on April 11th where it will have a cut rate, bargain, priced to move tag on it. Or, if it don't sell, yeah...that's a great wall for it.

Henrik - :lol: .....that hook there is suppose to hold a 100 lbs. I went ahead and sunk another museum hook in there right beside that other one just to be safe. Man, I need to fly over there to Hawaii and rub your sleeve just for good luck...VanTiki ROCKS!

Buzzard - Next Chop..if it don't sell it...we'll just have to see how many dogs one can fit on that platter there.

Buzzy - Mike...I thought it was for carving bananas, or cutting throats...I wasn't sure??

2 Jabs?...heh? Okay, I guess two Jabs is better than one. Man, I need another me too.

Studio news: Lot's of traveling coming up in the next few weekends, I'm going to get to kick it with Amy in New Orleans this weekend, and London the weekend before the show for the other job....I'm rushing around a bit in the studio...Unfortunately, I "rush" fired that red clay platter I showed you a while back, and lost it in the 1st firing. Yup it sucks, I should have candled the firing longer...heh...oh well. shit...That was a quick sketch one anyway to test that sculpture clay. I will feel a little more butt hurt if this one below don't make it...I've put more time into this one than that red clay one...I really hope there is no air trapped in those fishies anywhere. we'll see...Never be afraid to fail boys. You never get to that next personal level unless your ready to be kicked around a smidgen in the climb.

Gawd, I hate putting pictures of my own mug in my posts...it's Sir B's fault!

Thanks for the visit....BE COOL!....Go to the TONGA April 11th !!!!!
