Well, I've been waiting too too long to finally do a mug, and after seeing the way my logo tiki for Tabou Tiki Room in Berlin turned out, I was obsessed with making my own mug. This green mug below is from Tabou in Berlin. The mug on the bottom, "Fatutu" is my new mug based roughly on the tiki in my painting, "Death of Pierre Riviera" which is in Tiki Art 2 in SF I'm producing the mug myself, in my own workshop, and I'm going to produce less than a 100, maybe only 50. As soon as the first dozen are finished, I'll decide how many of this design will be made.:



If timing works out, Falling Cocos, will be hand-pulling a new serigraph based on "Death of Pierre Riviera". It'll be a big print, and I think we're only making 75 or so. I'm hoping to have the first dozen Fatutu mugs ready for Hukilau in 2 weeks, but we'll see. Pierre Riviera was a French explorer who tried to conquer the jungles of Papua New Guinnea in the 30's and never made it out...
I've also started the sculpt on the second mug of the series, and its based on a little someone in the upper left of this painting below only he's wearing a little palm frawn hat:

I'm over joyed, and bursting with clay dust and glaze! From the generous responce I was thinking of going ahead with only 50 of this mug to be extra special so that all you TCers who've been gnarly to me in the past will be rewarded with a super exclusive mug. Once 50 are sold, they're gone forever, the mold is smashed, and the original is put in the curio cabinet. Besides those who've emailed me, and called, this is the official list. Depending on costs of materials and kiln running, and time, the price could be anywhere from $20-$40 for Fatutu just for fair warning. I'll be quite busy up until Hukilau, so I don't know if I'll be able to check back again! Thanks for all the kind words, and support.

Hi Tikitony,

If there are any left I would also like a mug. You said 50 but, you didn't say how many were already promised.
