Mission Tiki Mug ....what color?

Here is a sneak peek of the mug I am doing for the Mission Tiki Drive In. Well, this is the sculpt, but a final limited edition mug will be available at the event. I believe it will sell for $40 and will be limited to 150 pcs. Later an alternate color open edition mug will be for sale at the drive in.

So what color should it be glazed in? I like orange outside with a different color inside . No cobalt blue though, I hate it.

Looks great as usual Danny!

Great mug. Not only is it a great design, but I really like the wood grain "chunks" in it. That gives it a lot of personality.

Wow! Tiki Diablo strikes again! I will definitely have to pick up one of each.

Regular or Buttered Diablo???

Flip-flOp-fLipPp...

That's killer Danny! Love the updates from the underground, bruddah... look forward to seeing you in Fort Lauderdale... keep up the great work!

Really nice ine Diab..

DIG it brah.
I can see how you have incorporated old style Oceanic Art with your own. I just scored what I believe to be a vintage 7 ft. tiki carved from the 50's. There are some features that are similar. Looks great Danny.
Thanks for posting and stayin' with TC.

For color how about a dark green, except for the popcorn part of course.

Killer! How about Chocolate Brown with Red/Yellow Eyes, light yellow popcorn and red/white striped popcorn box? Too much? Dark red with an orange/yellow inside that drips over the top bit....

Matty

I've always thought Orange and soemthing like a Lime Green go well together.

I like the color it is in now.
Everytime I see mugs in this stage of completion, I really never like the one with the glaze. Similar to the new Derek design mug by tiki farm. I like the white better than the blue glaze that they are releasing. Also another mug by Tiki Diablo I like better than the glazed version was the picture of the unglazed exotica mug.
But I will still buy the glazed version.

I agree with Kb on the greenware looking better than the glaze, for the handful that I have seen before glazing. I think that most of the reason is that the glaze covers the fine details. I thought Speed tiki was the same way.

But also the greenware tiki is a matte finish which is a better finish to go with. But the Speed tiki was matte afterward? I bought it anyways cause of how much I liked the original sculpt.

I love how the movie place to going to have its own mug. When you buy it for $40 does it could with a free pop (soda). And now people can start collecting food tikis. Popcorn and cheeseburger and tikis with their own little mugs.

orange....

Not enough orange mugs out there.

I dont know if its posible but I like Silver! I know you had silver eyes on the mug you did for Exotica!! Not many silver mugs!! Yeah Silver!!! BTW I likey the design!!!

I say make it look like wood (except for the popcorn... the popcorn should look like popcorn)! Awesome dee-zine.

Love this mug! The red glaze with the multi color specks that you used on one of your earlier mugs would look nice on the inside of this one.

I agree about it looking like wood. What about a "textured" brown like the old Tiki Bob & Mr. Bali Hai? That along with the painted box (red & white stripes) & popcorn.

Thanks guys, keep'em coming.

If you go with a silver, maybe it could the color that Danny did for 3 of the Tambu's. I have one and Kingstiedye has another. I do not know who has the third. Kingstiedye might have a picture on the ooga mooga website.

Black, matte black, with red inside.
Black tiki mugs give the effect of being fired in the heart of a powerful volcano and always look bad ass.

By the way, when will your web site become interactive so that i can buy some of your new tiki mugs?
I really dig your Polynesian creations.........much respect as a tiki collector and an artist.
Peace.

KBGator, I gots the 3rd... Here it is at the top right.

I would go with the orange,TD.. You did the green and black on the Hawaiianos and the wood look on the Macumbas.. The color on the Lmt. Macumba w/out the shot and coaster is sick!! I'd dig the mug in that color with TikiJosh's idea of the green(maybe striped w/white on the box). Hopin to connect this year at Hukilau, missed ya last year, Holla!

Freddy, that Tambu is different than the one I have, my doesn't have any orange paint. The one I have is painted with Red and a light cream outlines. Yours is pretty damn cool.

I do like the orange glaze, like on the earlier Macumbas from the Beach Festival. By the way I am trying to get my hands on one of them.

Maybe Danny could do a glaze like the New Traders Mort by Munktiki. I like the white inside glaze and the rough brown glaze on the outside to make it look like wood. This would be my vote.

That orange mug is the Tiki Tony the Tiger.
