But the Big Mug print, along with the Green Wahine recently, have been available as greeting cards for years. I like when he offers prints of a new painting, but just scanning in an old piece that's lying around, changing the color, and making a seriograph, well, I can't help but think "quick buck". I know Wahine was offered at a lower price, perhaps to encourage collectors with not such deep pockets, which is a nice gesture, but I rather see him focus on new stuff, tiki or not.
