SO....... What the F? two year wait to get this idea out of my Skull???..... Back story.... while prepping my retro-show in Oct 13th of '06, I was given something very cool that inspired the idea for the best mug ever!! I was so excited to get working on it after the show was over.... THAT WAS TILL.. that slimy, cerebral Squidily débuts his fantastic Squll Mug!! Oct 19th!! Well, Time heals, and the gods speak... My fire was lit again by Otto's VooDoo Oasis!! Weeeeeeee! Haaaaaa!! Who Do The VooDoo? This is the very cool item that inspired my supposed original idea I had... and so close to the Squid concept... Great Minds??? female or adolescent Orangutan Skull?
I just got this off to the mold maker... so some serious Witchcraft will have to be done to get any of these by Oasis... so start chanting your spells. With a 6 piece mold!? I have some chanting to do myself to get the bank to make this primate a premium item...... I'm not sure how large the edition will be. I may have very few production molds if any. I'm not sure of the price other then Oasis will be the Debut price. [ Edited by: crazy al 2008-10-06 11:14 ] [ Edited by: crazy al 2008-10-29 11:02 ] [ Edited by: crazy al 2009-05-31 18:08 ] |

Wow...! First the tiki tower mug, and now... this! The skull to end all skulls! Those lion/dragon designs look a bit like the Munktiki Singa mug - maybe the same mythical beast? |

Pretty damn nice, Al. Will we be able to afford such an artful trophy? This mana bowl seems like it should be the perfect vessel for the "Monkey Gland" cocktail unearthed by Dr. Cocktail: http://www.cocktaildb.com/recipe_detail?id=4460 ...or perhaps the "Tailless Monkey", if the recipe has been found since: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=7557&forum=1&39 ...or, to get even more esoteric and go back to the theory of devolution (caused by the eating of monkey brains), invent the "Devolution Cocktail" for it! |

I constantly think and rethink about things I've seen on TC. This is the reason why I like the Ape skull. Would go great with a headhunter's curiosity cabinet.

Awwww....! :) Monkey hug! Al, I am still pushing for the "Monkey Gland" as the cocktail of choice for this "mug". Dr. Cocktail made one for me, and it is an excellent, excellent tasting potion, the only one where a dash of Absinthe does not bother me. Its history is funny, too, it was concocted in the 20s, during a medical fad that purported that monkey glands had aphrodisiac powers. |

I've just seen the first production glaze and it was damn close to what I did! I'm told I should have 50 for Oasis... not sure of the price of this glaze or edition size... but with a seven piece mold! with spacial air release widgets to get those beautiful deep eyes to pull out and not break... and.. a 9-10 step glaze job... this first Oasis run might get me back into the black... black magic that is......? |
