Well we've been busy cuttin' away down here in the desert and wanted to share our latest creations with you all.
It appears that the voodoo theme has begun creeping into our work so you know zombies and monsters can't be far behind.....
'I Put A Spell On You' & 'Vic's Shield'
'Accidents Happen' & 'Tiki Girl'
'Death n' Venom' & 'Yojimbo vs. Fu Manchu'
As always, bigger versions are on our web site so if you're interested take a peek.
Mr. & Mrs. CH

The new stuff looks great kids! You guys have been busy.
Love that Fu Manchu piece. Blood and glass always make for good art in my book.

Thanks Big D! We figured there's nothing like blood and swords to heighten the tiki cocktail experience.
LLT - Thanks and we can't wait to get our hands on one of your fine mugs! Hope you won't mind, you know we cut with love.

Always amazing...it's hard for me to pick a favourite each time you post new work. Dynamic, humorous and eclectic.
Do you just look at a particular mug, and try and work a concept from it?
I'd love to see some of your gear or process shots too....if it's not too top-secret!

Jonesey, Constipation Blues. Most definitely.
OceaOtica, 'Accidents Happen' was a fun one to do. No pre-planning at all.
Hewey, Thanks for the encouragement.
Paipo, Sometimes a mug talks to us and lets us know what design it wants and sometimes we have an idea and find the right mug. Just depends on how the stars are aligned that particular night (we do all our thinking at night). Keep meaning to take pictures of a work in progress but just keep forgetting.
Thanks for all the support people. We'll be making more....
M&M

Thanks frostiki and MooneyTiki! Somehow we missed your messages back when we last updated. With so many great artists and topics on tc sometimes we forget to keep an eye on our own topic.
Here's the latest goings on here in the desert:
We got a write up in the AZ Daily Star
http://www.aznightbuzz.com/stories/236659.php
....and here are some of our newer pieces....
