I have been wanting to get in on a tiki art show for the last couple of years, This would have been a good one. The idea (I have been painting mugs the last couple of weeks) and the mugs are and sound like a great happening. Tiki just keeps going up.

Ha! I like it, great concept.
Funny how things come full circle. When I first met Doug Miller (now proud proprietor of Dug's Tiki Island in Kona) in LA ten years ago he showed me his mug collection and sheepishly pulled out some vintage mugs from an earlier art phase that he had painted. I cringed and he agreed that the pop colorizing was a mistake, and vintage mugs are way cooler in their original form.
Ten years later, the Tiki revival is in full swing. Unthinkable in the mid-90s, a slew of new Tiki mugs is being produced. Both, Tiki mugs and the new genre of urban vinyl designer toys are highly desirable collectibles. Designer toys are routinely altered and personalized by known artists in individual ways. It was a logical conclusion to extend this concept to virgin Tiki mugs. Congrats!

AArrgh! Oops my inner pirate escaped. I have to work that weekend. Maybe I'll send Savage Patty "North to Alaska". And when I say Alaska I mean Chicago.

Can't wait to see Flounder's work. Some artist like Tim Biskup can do a simple one hour painting that sells for thousands and then you have an artist like Founder that gives you a better quality piece for a better price. Plus he won best of show on his last something like this event.

He is great. I'm lucky to have him at the gallery. He also did a tiki painting for the show so make sure to check it out when it gets posted. I think we're also going to do a show together next year too.

Hey Kevin,
Good news! Flounder & I are working on a "RoboTiki" set featuring the following...
Hawaiian Ku in a Space Suit complete w/jetpack - mug
Marquesan in a Space Suit complete w/jetpack - mug
Rocketship w/Rarotongan little fellow peering through porthole - decanter
We're currently testing various glazes and anticipate a mid-late Summer launch.
Mahaloz,
Holden
