These are great creations. Are you doing RAKU to get those cracks?
I have your severed black satin head ready. Where shall we meet up?
Are you attending any events?
Cheers, Wendy

Oh wow, that crackle is sweet.
I really like the one square Bob with the contrast with the black and the crackle on the face.

Wow! MP, these are fantastic!

This one is my favorite of the bunch... so MP, and so cool!

MP, you are rockin' the raku!
That one is cool Eric, you think it's The Incredible Melting Bob?

No new Bob's right now HangTen. Thanks for asking tho!

Are these the first steps on your way to a new mug? You know Dan can't get enough of your mugs.
He still wants your Suffering Bastard Bob mug and bowl. His wish list never goes away.

Im not sure HangTen, Oasis gets a bit fuzzy right?
Kinny owns this one. Maybe he can tell us or maybe he can rename it.

Here's some more designs

Update?
:)

Missed the last round of designs... they all look amazing as usual, but that Suffering Ku is freaking incredible! MP, you gotta do that one!

Awesome and Uniquely MP,as always!
No name on the little fellow
He says "MP!3" on the bottom
so that's what i named him!
and i love him everyday!

Thanks for the reminder HangTen!
Thanks Eric! I think that would be a cool one too.
Kinny, Im so glad you got that little guy, maybe I'll get to visit
him in August on the way out of Oasis.
Here are some more new/old sketches.
I hope you enjoy them.


Thanks for looking!

Ahhhhh
Thanx
Needed my MP fix

I freaking love the 3-dimensionality of these sketches and the curves-on-curves-on-curves!!!!!
Why not make some small tests of some of these shapes?
Then just go HUGE with them!
How big will your kiln fire?!?!?!

T

Awesome. I agree w/ Eric, Suffering Ku is phenomenal. Digging the other sketches, too.

Thanks Hang10, Cammo & Tikiano, Im always stoked to hear feedback!
One problem Cammo..... Im lazy! Well sorta kiddin. Havent had much time for art lately
but its all good spending QT with my son. Ive been talking to my uncle about carving
up some of these designs for me, we'll see. Got to save my time for planned mugs for Oasis.
Here are some more designs.

Here are some more sketches and some mugs from TO13.


Custom Square Bob


Square Bob Bastard


"Real" Square Bob


Good Buddies!

Mahaloz fer lookin!!!

Awesome............

Jon

Love those last 2 pieces the best!

Careful with posting your drawings--your Sufferin' Bob idea already got stolen and I am sure your Sufferin' Ku will be next!
(Although your Sufferin' Square Bob is about 10000xs better AND more original)

Hope that Ku comes to life--would be awesome!

T

Hey Sandra Dee... I don't think MP has to worry too much... his vision is so unique... anyone taking a page from his notebook will be a pale comparison... and we know who had the brilliant idea first!

So, with that said...

Suffering Ku!
Suffering KU!!
SUFFERING KU!!!
SUFFERING KU!!!!!
...as mugs and shotglasses... so we can all afford them!

C'mon MP, don't leave us hanging!

LOVE all your designs... your choice of shapes and angles make me giddy with the thrill of viewing great art!

You have a drawing that looks like a Bob/Bastard inspired piece, where it's leaning up on one side, with a super detailed exterior, which made me realize what some your designs bring to mind for me... Frank Lloyd Wright's concrete block houses, like the Ennis House, the Hollyhock House, and others...

You are the Frank Lloyd Wright of Tiki mugs! Your pieces are, like his work, ahead of their time, and timeless... at the same time!

SUFFERING KU!!!!

YES!

MP your drawings are creative and unique. Not only are you a wonderful artist you are a really nice guy. When I asked you if I could make Suffering Bob's, not copy yours, but use the idea, you were so cool to allow me to go ahead and make some. I've made 4. They are very different from yours, not a copy as you know and Dan hopes that you still have him on the list for one of the your mugs and one of the matching bowls. I'm still ready when you are for our Clay Day, cheers, Wendy
