Well crap... I have some major catching up to do. I mean, even GROG, laziest caveman in the world has a gallery!

Since I've done a lot of mass produced stuff for Tiki Farm, etc. I'll try to keep this thread to one-of-a-kinds, collaborations and limited/custom pieces. So as not to be redundant, I will refrain from posting my collaborations with the great Babalu. I'm sure they have enough press in his gallery thread.

I'm gonna start this out with what I feel is my best piece ever, Tiki-Kate's cremation urn. But I can't claim all the glory. Kate was guiding me in spirit throughout, silently, assuredly nodding when I would throw my hands up in the air and ask, "Well, whaddaya think Kate?".

Thanks for giving me the toughest job ever!! I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. :D

Here's one I designed & sculpted a few months back for the very cool tiki bar, Brass Monkey in Copenhagen. OK, it's not a tiki mug per se. But as the Zombie is a traditional tiki bar drink and as this is a zombie monkey, I rest my case. Cheeky Tiki in the UK are taking care of the manufacturing and from the looks of this sample they've done an awesome job! This will be available soooooooon! http://www.brassmonkey.dk

Please get one of these before your host Kasper becomes a zombie monkey himself. Oh my he's on TC now! "Kasper the friendly"

And now here's the Frankie's Tiki Room 2nd Annivers .... er ... um ... what? I can't spill the beans yet? OK, OK! I'll wait till you're ready Moss. :wink:

Zombies and monsters and more zombies....
Next up is my latest limited edition mug offering and first in the "Brain Drainz" series, Rotten Ralph (In regular and "Electric Zombie" versions).
And yet another non-tiki monster mug with, you guessed it, removable brain cap! I don't actually have a name for this dude yet. I'll have some of these guys at GROG' Tonga Hut Halloween Art Shoe. They will all be custom glaze schemes.

Ok that's it for now but I'll be digging in the vault as time allows and add new stuff as I get it done.
Well Kasper! I knew you'd manifest at some time. Welcome to TC!
ATP: A thousand times NO!
Bowana: Aren't you supposed to be ruining something?

Back to the subject of removable brain caps, here's Uncle Shrunkle, a collaboration between me and the amazingly talented Bai (whose brain is fully intact!). This is where all the gray matter got started. Bai did a majority of the sculpting from my tiny scribbles and I tended to the technical details. I think she's getting ready to cook up the last couple of these bad boys so keep your eyes peeled!


A one-off for Hank at the Freaky Boutiki:

A couple of T-Shirt designs...
