This of course is the menu cover for Skipper Kents, Oakland California. This is my favorite menu art.

This is the front of an extremely rare mug that they produced.

The Zombie closer up.

The back of the Zombie mug.

I thought that they should have added the chest of the Zombie as shown on the menu to the mug. I made this one for Dan in clay in 2006.

Now in 2009 the Swap idea on Tiki Central was to make art using a menu cover. So what else could I do but make it from my favorite cover. This time instead of trees I used the woman. Zombie on one side and Woman on the other.


This was also made in clay and hand painted. TikiG was my swap partner.

Ever since I made the next step and began making molds and casting ceramics I have had this mug in mind. So now I'm doing it. I will post the step by step photos as I start with sculptor's clay and work to produce this mug. I also have a twist in mind that will reveal itself as I proceed.

I hope this is a fun journey for all of us. Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, may you all have the best new year ever, cheers, Wendy
