Hi,
I listened to a lot of you and I'm glad to say that we're working on a new design with our friend Flounder (www.flounderart.com). He's come up with a great design which is shown below...

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
Item Name: FLAME MAN CHU
Price: $10.95/each

Mahaloz!
Holden

Hey that's nice guys. I will have to reserve one just as I have Geckos & BK's (hale tiki).
Since they have all become so successful with their works, it's the only way I will be able to afford any of their artwork. This is very nice getting to see our TC artists creations being released in mug form!!!
Kudos to Holden for making it happen.

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.
Someone help me.

I'll still take three.
Just in case no one helps.

By the way.... that's a lively design.
Lot's of character.

Great vibe.

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.

Flounder,
I like it. I might even have to buy one if you promise to fill it with dark Cruzan rum for me.

Thanks everyone.

Holden, thanks for the thread and for pushing up the date on these suckers. What a nice surprise.

Geoff, you didn't think I was going to give you the good stuff did ya. I save the Cruzan 2 year old for people like you.

Pablus, don't push me or I'll attack you like a 140lb. squirrel on crack.

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.

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!

I agree with the Rev BB. Hang on I think you're going for a Sweet Ride.

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.

Wow, thanks for the great response.

I haven't set any price because I have to find someone to print them first and find out how much it cost for the printing.

Thanks everyone.
