Hey MDM, will message you.

Health setbacks have slowed getting my studio completed but I have eaked out some art when i can.


An Ocea Otica Cult Hook mug made to be a lamp base for collaboration with Tiki Jason

His finished lamp

Had a flu bug leading up to Inuhele, so the display had to be slammed out the night before the event. Stripped and converted a wood panel bar from a garage sale into a mug bar. Will do more finish work on it as time allows.

and my friend and co-pilot for the event Andy working the bar

An AP Sepik inspired mug, which i will be remolding for release later in the year

My more fiendish line of mugs, Drinky Fiends, Skullitiva 2, now in production

Here is a photo build/shoot form earlier in the year. It depicts the Kiwi's Nest Grog for a demo for Beachbum Berry.
Its an homage to our former beloved Iguana family member Lester, whose diet included kiwi fruit, and was the reason why this drink was often served at home. Lester's memorial footprint can be seen nestled in the abalone shells under the cocktail.

MadDogMike posted on 06/27/2019

Cass! Very cool! We have had a few iguanas over the past 30 years, I have really enjoyed them. Does the drink contain kiwi juice? I don't think I've seen that in a drink yet?

M
MadDogMike posted on 06/27/2019

Oh! I found it. Gonna have to give this a try!

1 whole fresh lemon, cut into quarters ½ fresh kiwi fruit, peeled 1 oz amber martinique rum 1 oz light virgin islands rum ½ oz dark jamaican rum 1 oz orgeat syrup or Homemade Orgeat Syrup ¼ oz pimento liqueur or Homemade Pimento Liqueur 1 dash orange bitters

In a cocktail shaker, thoroughly muddle kiwi and lemon to extract all juice. Add all other ingredients and shake well with ice cubes. Strain into a tall glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a kiwi fruit wheel.

Cass, the Kiwi's Nest Grog is your creation! I was doing some research and found your original recipe. I tried Berry's simplified version tonight but need to try yours too.

Hey MDM,
Hope you enjoyed making and drinking the cocktail!
Have a few things still drying out but then your package will set sail.
okay so i am photoshopping some collaged pics together in the hopes they wont load up on TC sideways. lets see.
Photos of the Bowl-O-Rama 2 bowl, coaster and base with the production notes/care guide book i didnt have finished for the show but will travel with Eric October, who so graciously is going to haul the whole set to different vending venues. Thanks again Eric!

Cement Moai # 1 and 2 i am currently producing

these are waterproofed with eco friendly Rain Guard
and some beautiful photos by Jeff Himmel of them in his succulent garden



and here are my test samples of my 2014 Tangaroa piece that i finally am getting around to producing in larger quantities these are have a wood peg attached in back and are for using in building your own bar elements

as for Drinky Fiends:

I remolded the 2008 What If... WITCO zombie pendant that i was giving away free to people coming into town for Tiki Oasis that could meet up at Tiki Ti beforehand. Here is a pic of the originals, white has glow in the dark, the green was an auto flip color and the wood painted one was all done in blacklight color. I will be sculpting a long haired companion to the 2008 version as well

KAMPAI!!

You are so creative and fresh. Everything you make is one of a kind and just perfect, love your work.

OceaOtica posted on 07/09/2019

Hiltiki such kind words, thank you!!

I just finished up the master to be molded for resin and eventually ceramic tiles. This is based on my 2010 Sepik cult hook pendant sculpture. The idea is to rope them together like the Chinese jade tiles. The resin cast ones will be approx 7 1/2” tall x 4 1/2” wide. The ceramic version will be roughly 20% smaller.
As with any PNG related Ocea Otica art a portion of profits will be donated to PNG charities.
Hope you dig!

Been getting proofs of Birch Block prints for my booth at Inuhele this year. Physical Therapy post shoulder surgery is going well, but i still have a lot of restrictions so have been focusing on
my artwork that requires less use of my primary arm, so this year at the booth will be more focused on different types of prints, with a smaller amount of mugs and hopefully a couple of new lamps.
My cell phone is old and pretty beat up so apologies for the fuzzy photos.
Hope your weekend is lovely!

Hey everybody, here are some sample free downloadable coloring book pages. There are many more on my website and i am creating new ones daily, posting them on facebook and then will upload a weeks worth on my website weekly.
Wendy Cevola contributed some images this week that i converted, one of which is seen as the fourth image below. If you are an artist and would like to send an image of your work that i can convert into a free coloring book page please email me at junkhaulerarts@gmail.com.
I hope these can provide some zen out activities in these tough pandemic times.
Cheers,
Cass

The one time I made a mug for a bar, the Dr. long Ghost for Latitude 29. Edition was around 50, in 2022. Don't do mugs for bars because their are better equipped and ADHD mug makers out there for that. But enjoyed doing this for my pals at Lat29. RenderedImageImage Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/1379/66ca012d78b32.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=1acbef7cdc81eb6d8e46ddf24d0b753d

Also sculpted and designed this for Cocktail Kingdom. Their manufacturing did the production and think it's still available for the Beachbum Berry line. I fired a couple test glazed casting in my kiln, one fully underglaze detail painted, the other a mottled blue glaze. Ultimately they chose a brown wash for their production. Here is the sculpting as I completed the bottom.DSC_0303Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/1379/66ca0444b0732.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=6406f5b9b505ffa5559f3dbe5043c5a7

Hey, thanks so much. Tried to get some crazy angles on there. Lost a lot of my photos so dont have a picture of the back, but it had raised letters of the Lat. 29 logo underglaze painted to match their sign. Fun!
