That's a great idea! I love it! Please give it a go, and send me pics please!
I do have a love of Tiki Mugs!
SPEAKING OF TIKI MUGS...
I just got done designing a set of 3 mugs for Tiki-Farm & Body Glove - they'll come in a box set - and, with my current painting as the cover! (oh boy! I do so love good packaging! aka: Yep, I is a collecting Tiki-NERD!)
Dig IT! - painting's not quite done yet...but almost... I think I gotta work on the flowers next and the tikis and foreground...etc...
It's a set of mugs based on this painting... which is based on the Body Glove award winning short surf film "The Disappearance".
The film was made by Director /pro surfer Greg Browning for surf-film contest held by Trans World Surf Magazine (It won 1st place), it tells the tale about the Body Glove pro-surf team going to a extremely remote island in Indonesia, looking for the perfect wave, and finding
a vicious Sea Creature as well! Very Blair Witch Project - like, and everyone don't make it back! Quite fun!n It also happens to be Body Glove's 60 Year Anniversary, so there's a special 60 Year Anniversary mug in the set , along with a "Shark-Tiki" tiki mug, and a Body Glove Sea Creature tiki mug. (some of my best designs I think, I really wanted to give this one my best effort!)

Pop over to the Gallery area of Tiki Central to see all the pencil designs done.
We plan on a release party here in Hawaii next October with the Director, the Owners of Body Glove, Me, and pro-surfer Scott Smith (the Creature) ... plus 100 free limited edition posters to the first 100 sets sold. Autographs abound, photos with the CREATURE! and Live music by Henry Kopono - all at the Royal Kona Resort.
More on all that as October rolls around.
Big Aloha!
