Sketches and Ceramics by MP *1997-Present*

Thanks for the Kind words about the work and the S.Ku everybody.
Eric, Right back at you my friend. I am totally inspired by your work and
totally jealous of your tireless dedication to your art. It has been my pleasure to see your
art in person at Oasis all these years now. Cant wait to see this years new batch of stuff!

All of you got me excited about the KU thing so I did a little study just for fun.
I dont know if I will have time for a Carve/sculpt, but who knows.

Wendy, No need to explain yourself. Im not worried about it at all. Im hoping to get to the Bastard Bob done soon.
I know I keep saying that but life keeps putting it off. Tell dan its still on the list.

Here's My little Ku study

I don't worry either, everything I do is here on TC, every step of the way. That's a wonderful watercolor or felt pen? Wendy

Suffering KU--yes! I would love to see you do that on velvet!

You are an original MP--not an imitator-and I think Eric is right--you are the Frank Lloyd Wright of Tiki mugs!

Those little Bob jugs you made for Oasis last year were so popular that I hope you do something with this year's theme--maybe Beatnik Bob?

I known you have been busy so I am so glad you are posting again AND showing up to paint at FI again--your work has always been some of the best!

Thanks Sandra Dee, I appreciate it!

Here are some more sketches for your Eyeballs!

And a few mugs from last year

More cool stuff, sweet!

Way Killer

Wow are you doing Raku? I love those cracks.
I recognize the Barrel Bob from the print we have hanging in our home.
Dan wants a Barrel Bob really bad. Are you going to make one?
Wendy

You are out of control good, every mug is so different and so well designed.

Fantastic Stuff!!

Big suprise I love the mugs. Especially the Tiki Bob mugs.

I hope you will be bringing them to Oasis again this year. I enjoy bringing one home each year.

Your square Bob stickers are the only mug stickers Mrs Chippy allows on our car.

Do you still have that King Bob? That was crazy cool.

Thanks again.

ATP and HangTen, Thank you again! Mp appreciates the support!

Wendy, not sure when Im gonna get to the barrel Bob. Ive only made one
handbuilt and Otto snagged it up at Tikiyaki lei-over gig. Yes that vase is raku, my friends
in town (the Mudbuddies) get together and raku once in a while. Raku is good fun!

Hiltiki, Thank you so much! I sometimes agonize over design. Im glad you notice,
Ive had some good teachers help me along.

Hey Chippy! Thanks a ton. I think I will have a Bob or two at Oasis this year.
Im so stoked that my mugs have become part of a tradition for you.
Are you talking about Royal Bob? If so the answer is yes, He's down in the Tiki Bar
with friends. Here are a couple of pics shot in Reesenik's backyard.

Here is a little photoshop sketch I did for a Bob Feather God or "Royal Bob"
I am waaaay into the Hawaiian style!

and speaking of the Tiki Bar, I had a little friend visit me today while cleaning up.

Cheers!

Great imagination and creativity mp, the Bobs are better than the original and the raku vase is a beaut!

Thanks so much Cy, That means a lot! I do try to make some original stuff, even
if it slides off the tiki spectrum some.

Here are some more sketches to check out, Hope you all enjoy!

Here are some little Bob Jugs I brought to Tiki Oasis last year.

Cheers All!

Did u make that snake a Mai-Tai?

Thank you for posting the pictures of the Royal Bob. that is correct, that is the fellow I was talking about.

Glad to hear he is in a good home. Please let me know if another member of the Royal family is looking for a home.

I DIDNT make that snake a Mai Tai, thats why he was so pissed at me!

No problem Chippy, I havent looked as those pics for a while. Sent you a pm buddy.

Here are some more scribbles

Cheers!!

Just saw this thread and wanted to chime in, love your stuff MP! Glad we met this year at Tiki O and looking forward to seeing you around some more. Love your drawings, and mugs are great! Wish I would've picked up one from you, but already spent my limit, if you know what I mean. Thanks for hanging!

Woody

Woody, good to meet you my friend, I dig your art and its always a pleasure to chat with like mindeds!
I know what you mean about limited funds. I walked away with only a few scant but good treasures this year.

Ditto Hang10. And Zero. And... okay, everyone else.

Love the Bob Lantern too!

MP-
Just wanted to post and say thank you...I recently purchased skull #15 and it looks great! I was eyeballing your work over time to see what I wanted in my personal collection. You posted this on ebay and I went for it the moment I saw it. Totally different from anything else in my collection. Just love it!

I am a big fan of the lava glaze and would like to try it out. Did you use an available product or did you have a recipe? If you are willing to share, I would sincerely be appreciative.

Looks like a skull that had been in the fires of hell for a very long time. Would it be appropriate to say Cool! Wendy

Awesome texture
