Actually Ween is from Philly I think. They have an album called Quebec though :) They started in the 90s and were two guys, not really brothers but they called each other brothers. Gene and Dean Ween. They were never a mainstream band, but they had a huge following. I used to go to 3 or 4 of their shows per tour, and my friend that the mug is for would come with me. I saw them 50+ times live and I think every one of their shows were sold out. Some fun places I have seen them are, the Minnesota Zoo, Stubbs in Austin, the Joint in Vegas on Halloween, at the Wiltern in LA, just to name a few. Actually my wife and I played Stay Forever as our first dance at our wedding. Our wedding DJ knew one of the roadies, so in Anaheim they actually played Stay Forever and dedicated it to us.

Sadly Ween broke up last year. Hopefully they will get back together again. Gene went to rehab a few years back and then went kinda crazy and ended the band without consulting the other members. Sobriety is a hell of a drug :)

I really like the Mollusk on the back of the mug. It looks awesome, you did an amazing job! The Boognish face is turning out really well too. You are a true pro. I think Ween would be flattered and not upset about the mug. They would likely have you make more for them :)
