It was a really hard painting but so much fun since I was painting mugs I'd made in the past. Here's another production photo from Frankoma. It feels weird to not be doing any steps except sculpting the mug. This now belongs to them.

The Sacramento Ohana Crawl. Took place over three days. September 26, 27 and 28th. Enjoy some photos from the first night shared on this post.

From 2010 to 2019 I made the crawl mug. I spent the crawl next to my car delivering mugs. No More!!! 000 ![9 26 25 Sac Crawl (43)]

The temporary tattoo I received lasted from 9/27/25 until 10/15/25. I tried finger nail polish and alcohol and neither made it come off. Scrubbing with a washcloth didn't work until the 15th. It was fun.

Richard Parker has a wish and I'm ready to do it. He did a sketch but said I can change it however I like to make the objects fit. He chose his frame and I've started with the Hot Tub Hula Girl first. Then on to the rest.

OMG. I almost didn’t recognize Dan-0 in his photos

He looks 25 years old

Great photos from the crawl

Dan is going to love hearing that you said that. He's hearing it a lot. 40 pounds off and long hair are helping him to reduce his age.

The crawl was really fun. We made it to every stop.

Next up painting the Hot Tub Hula Girl in her hot tub. I used a lady from a TV series as a model. She looks mean here so I'll work on that.

hang10tiki thank you. So many more steps to go but each one is a fun challenge.

Time to make her face more friendly. Time to have her grow some hair. Time to add some water to the hot tub. Time to make the breasts match. Time to add a flower.

Richard asked for a space craft he likes to be in the painting. I got it done but a red stripe turned pink when it dried. I will add a different red paint soon.

Richard has this flag in every painting he commissions. He let me figure out where it should go.

I was able to slip in the flag and now the boat for Richard. He started with a long list of what he wanted in the painting and then cut it down to make it easier. But I just saw that his first list worked well and put them in. I even added a moon to his list.

I've done more steps on Richard Parkers black velvet wish.

I added stars, a hibiscus plant and a beach towel has been started. He requested tapa to be placed somewhere. Why not a beach towel for the hula girl.
