This year I set a goal to make one new piece of ceramic art a month, unfortunately I had been keeping up with my goal and feeling so good that I promptly got backed up in the mug department, we just released the pictured mugs below on http://www.tikibosko.com, I have three other designs that I have been working simultaneously that still need the glazes resolved. We also have two event mugs coming up in the near future, Otto offered and I took on the task of creating this years Tiki Oasis 12 mug, I just pulled the first casts out of the mold this morning. We are also working on a small run for a old friends 60th birthday party so, I have my work cut out for me. This piece is based on a PNG design, but you can obviously see my modern interpretation of their always brilliant art, it takes the primitive and makes it look space age cartoony, just like the great mid century Polynesian Pop masters. The Ku I loosely based it on the Florian Gabrial ‘s Kon Tiki Ku design but more stripped down - think bubble gum hot rod - I was lucky enough to meet and talk with him at Otto’s first mug party way back in 93(?) He was a very cool guy and we happened to attend the same college. Thanks for looking and my very best Aloha's Bosko
