JC Jeff Central Tiki Socialite Columbus, Ohio Joined: Jul 23, 2002 Posts: 1737	JC Jeff Central Posted posted on Wed, Sep 28, 2005 1:14 PM Unfortunately no. The Artist Proofs of the Augie Colon mug are strictly eBay only. Actually Gecko wanted to sell the "new" Robert Drasnin mugs on eBay as well because he knows he could make more money that way. That's why this is a special deal to get these at the $150 cost mark. Currently the Augie mugs sell between $160-$180 each on eBay and they are almost gone. The regular edition should be coming out soon though. Hope this helps. Jeff

I took this photo at the 91st birthday party for Annette Nahinu held the other night. It is a great mug, with lots of detail and I want one! Guess I'd better sell lots of Ikebana containers so I can afford one of these!

It's a wonder I could take photos after that "Spotted Gecko"... and the Mai Tais. So have other people been drinking the "Spotted Gecko" and now they think they've spotted Gecko on "Dog, The Bounty Hunter"?

SF Swamp Fire Member Long Beach, CA Joined: Jul 31, 2003 Posts: 1203	SF Swamp Fire Posted posted on Sat, Oct 1, 2005 1:14 PM I was psyched when Gecko contacted my about doing a painting for his "Voodoo" limited edition mug/tag. Below are a couple of pics of the painting. The lamp on the right is from his personal collection and the tiki up on the sign is one of his own carvings. We are offering limited edition Giclee prints (edition of only 25) at Hukilau 13"X19". Detail

JC Jeff Central Tiki Socialite Columbus, Ohio Joined: Jul 23, 2002 Posts: 1737	JC Jeff Central Posted posted on Wed, Oct 26, 2005 3:03 AM Glad you liked the mug kbgator. I want to personally thank everyone who bought one of Gecko's "Voodoo" mug at the Hukilau this year. Gecko has put the remaining 15 mugs in his eBay store at a "Buy it Now" price of $150. He also mentioned that when these 15 are gone that's it! They are too difficult and time consuming to make. I am not sure about the prints but get these mugs quick!! Get the mug here........... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7720811094&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
