G GECKO Member South Sea Arts Honolulu Joined: Jun 01, 2002 Posts: 1049	G GECKO Posted posted on Fri, Jan 23, 2004 12:03 AM Here's a another update: I will start a pre-order thread on the 28th of Jan in the collecting forum. These mugs will come signed and numbered to 300. They are $35ea. This is the info I will need from everyone. shippin' address (no po boxes), tel nr (daytime) & email address. 1 mug per address. Holden will then get that info and contact everyone for the creditcard numbers etc... Please do not type "I want one or sold" just email me as soon as I start the preorder post not befor hand please. I will post my email address link on the post or here it is now: [email protected] first come first serve. Your emails will be kept in order. I will stop taking emails the last day of Feb because I will be off island almost all of march on buisness. Like I said these mugs are on pre-order to the ohana here on TC first and the rest of the world in a few weeks. 45 to 60 days is when the production should be ready according to braddah Holden. Mahaloz Plenny to you all! Live Aloha!! Aloha firends and collectors, here is my first mug available threw Tiki Farm SOON! I've been known for my drum design tikis and wanted to put it into my mug designz as well. This is the only one on the market like it...... until someone from china probubly copyies my design and bypasses my copywrite. If you go to my website you can see me carving the actuall tiki on the top right of the page. http://www.geckotiki.com anyways, this is my first mug out on the market and not the last. Watch out for more gecko drum style mugs comming summer of 2004. Alohaz to braddah Holden of "Da Farm" and my man Squid! yu braddahz did a great job! I forgot to tell you da story behind da tiki which transfers into the mug. I carved the orignal Exotica Tiki for the honorable Mr. Martin Denny and his daughter whom I love for giving me the oppertunity to carve him this challange.....yes challange because I was thinking about the master and what a challange it was to brain storm for an idea. I actually put it off for sometime because I was honostly nervous! So, one day I threw on my exotica cd and just started drawing a image on the log because it was time to stop waisting time. I had the song on repeat the whole time I carved it for inspiration and I fanally came out with a concept. So, here is the story, I wanted to include all of his band members somehow in this tiki because I feel they were a BIG part of making the honorable Mr. Denny the master of exotica and the living legend that he is today. So I included the band members on the bottom which are the small tikis around the base holding Mr. Denny up which is the main tiki on top. so there is 5 tikis around the base to honor Arthur Lyman, August Colon, Harvey Ragsdale, and Julius Wechter....Soooo, whos the 5th tiki on the base? ME. I carved it common! I wanted to hold up MR. Denny to! No just kidding, actually it represents the state of Havaii and US his fans! Yes you all here at TC are a part of that mug to because of your dedication to tiki. OHANA right? So this is no ordinary mug to me, it really means a lot, its a very special peice and I hope who ever gets it cherishes this mug as I will. That is the true story behind the carving for you to know too now. Mr.Denny already knows it. So go and spread da word! Live Aloha "G" oh ya go buy Mr.Dennys Baked Alaska cd. You can here him talk story when he was younger man.

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, Jan 23, 2004 1:13 AM Gecko, that is a superb mug! I've been wanting a Gecko carving for years, but the crippling postage costs to Europe have made it impossible. Now I can can get the next best thing - one of the finest new mugs for years. What's particularly cool is that it came about through your posts on Tiki Central. Well done Smogbreather too for recognising a rare talent & coming up with a damn fine finished product. Trader Woody

I will say (at risk of sounding old-lady persnickety) I like that more than any other mug Tiki Farm has put out lately. Has that old style creativity and mana. If that doesn't sell out in short order nothing will. Congrats, braddah!

You always did have a unique style with your tikis; it just stands to reason it would follow through to anything else you did. Good job!

G GECKO Member South Sea Arts Honolulu Joined: Jun 01, 2002 Posts: 1049	G GECKO Posted posted on Fri, Jan 23, 2004 11:12 AM Alohaz from my beautiful islands to yours! MAHALOZ!!! I'm glad you guys like my design. I wanted to come out with a little bang. I also thought about when and if our children collent mugs I wanted them to persue this mug like we do the suffering bastard or the Ren Clark mugs. Just wanted it to be different. It is a replica of the design I did for Mr. Denny. Being that my Exotica tiki is my exsclusive peice and expensive only 2 peopo own that tiki and you already know one of the owners. I wanted to shrink it down to a mug so everyone may have a chance to own one at a much cheaper price. Yes, this is a Tiki Farm limited artist edition of 300 mugs. So, you might want to keep and eye out in case they do sell out? I'm so pleased with this one my mind is ready for my next crazy mug. I will try my best to come out with stuff you guys have never seen and keep you coming back. Once again, mahalo for you kind words and aloha. G
