thanks!

Nomad, could you explain the meaning of the dodo for this mug. I know birds are important in tiki and that birds are great examples of PNG art. Does the dodo have something to with extinction of tiki bars especially the Mauna Loa?

Well Teakey, some things are better left unexplained.......although I like your connection! The "Tiki" in general is and has always been somewhat exotic and mysterious and I think the mauna loa mug, not unlike alot of my illustrations, is best left up to the observer for interpretation...enjoy and ma halo!
