Hi, I then tweaked the design's dimensions just a bit to make it a good, friendly tiki mug size and did a bit of colorization and this is the result... Now Flounder and I originally discussed this as a January 2005 launch as we've got A LOT of other mugs in the works but I'm pushing this one up... it'll be out likely in mid-Summer. This one's already been named (don't worry though, we've still got a lotta namin' to do!). I think the name's a pretty good combination of the oriental aesthetic and the flames. We proudly bring you... "Flame Man Chu" by Flounder. If you want to pre-book now and won't call us 39 times to check on the status (it'll be out mid-Summer!), then please feel free to call us at (800) 357-3360 and specify the following: Item Nr. BA078 Mahaloz! [ Edited by: smogbreather on 2004-03-03 20:36 ] |

I'll take 3. One for me. One for an important guest. One for Flouder if he ever shows up at the Lagoon because I'm terribly afraid of him. It's pure terror. I'll still take three. |

Something tiki wicked this way comes. I love it! The Asian eyes, flames, scrollwork and open mouth remind me of carnival haunted house/freak show artwork I used to see at the Kansas State Fair before it went PC. I almost expect a cart of screaming kids to issue from the mouth. |

There is also going to be a painting of the mug in the style that I did the suitcase for Holden in. The painting will acompany the mug in the Tiki Farm catalogs. I also will probably be doing prints of this piece. This is the the Holden suitcase. Original Art by Flounder [ Edited by: FLOUNDERart on 2004-03-05 19:01 ] |

Rock on Bro! Would love to see your art plasterd everywhere. You are one talented mofo! (you also remind me of Mr. Pink !!!)Maybe you could give Shag a little time to hang with his family and take up some of the slack.I'm sure he would like that. I only see good things your way!!! (unless you act like me!! Arrrrrrrrrr!!!) Pollock and Van Gough attitudes don't go to well with the Moral Tiki Majority! But, F' em!! They get what they get! |

Well I finally got around to the painting. Let me know what you all think. I'm thinking about doing prints of the painting, if the responce is good and people are interested in buying . I think it would be cool to have a print that went with the actual mug. Original Art by Flounder [ Edited by: FLOUNDERart on 2004-04-30 13:35 ] |

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Flounder you talented bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was swearing off the Tiki Farm Limited editions, trying to put away money and here you come out with an absolutely amazing mug! So I stupidly think I can resist the urge. And then the print!!!! It is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! And I must say I've enjoyed watching your style progress and impress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I'll eat Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwhiches for a week to save up for this puppy. Tiki (Slave to Flounder Art) Gardener [ Edited by: TikiGardener on 2004-05-03 21:20 ] |
