Aloha!
Being that I am one HUGE Tiki tOny Fan and strive to collect the brightest, most colorful Tiki tOny mugs I can find I had a brilliant idea! Last December I Commissioned Tiki tOny himself to create me a drinking vessel, a HUt! like those tOny created his paintings. I had a ton of idea's in my head & tOny allowed me to some input then put it to all to life. It is an amazing work of art! I am honored to own this First One of a Kind Original by Tiki tOny. It was completed and delivered in early April 2007.
I was telling Ken Ruzic "Little Lost Tiki" to go to Ooga Mooga and see it. Ken suggested I show it here in TC so that it might be enjoyed by ALL collectors of art not just mug collectors. I was reluctant to do so, kind of not my style, but Ken was right. So tah dah!...showing you a small glimpse of it and invite you to see it in my collection in Ooga-Mooga and read more about it. I will soon have better pictures as well.
You may view it here: http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=2509 be sure to see all photos  let me know you enjoyed it! A Million Mahaloz Again tOny & aLeNe, I Love it!

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Wow! You were right,Hip,that piece is GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing this one! And Kudos to you Tony for creating this Masterpiece!! A lot of commissions just fall under the radar and viewed by very few...sad...sad...tikiTony's work is too loveable and magical to hide away from the world! I see your name above the door....I know this Dr. Shrinker fellow who might be able to help you out...Could somebody nominate this to Current and Cool?

Oops. I just made a template for it, so it screwed up your link.
Here it is:

It's a great piece. Seeing elements taken from paintings and made into something three dimensional always gives me a little thrill.

Congrats to the both of you! Hip for getting the idea to commission Tiki Tony and TT for such a beautiful job!
When I first opened this thread and saw that pop up I was completely like,"HOLY FREAKIN' ACID TRIP BATMAN!!" I think the shrooms are startin' to kick in and an Ohana Hut landed in Alice in Wonderland!
So when do we start drinkin'?

I really dig vintage mugs, but that one makes my imagination leap. It gives me a new appreciation for the works of art being created today. Wow, that is a fantastic piece.
Congrats!

You must have been jumping(carefully) for joy when you pulled this one out. I can't wait to someday own some original Tiki Tony art. Thanks for sharing it with us!

If Dr. Zeuss drank Mai Tais it would have been out of that thing.
