I'm working on a shrunken down mug pendant right now. I'll PM you with the results in approx 14 days.

Illustrator is this a free program?
I love your art from this program so going back can be a really good thing. Wendy

Hale Tiki, are you posting any pics on TC?
Thanks Wendy! Unfortunately Adobe Illustrator is not free, actually it's kinda pricey!

My Frankenstein Monster mini mug is out of the kiln. Very happy with what is my first one-off mug!

Very cool FrankenMug Robert! Love all the wrinkles, great job on keeping those through the glaze process. Awesome first one-off!

Thank you Jon and Mike!
I'll be at Art Rock in West Palm Beach on April 27th. If you're in the area drop in and say Hi!
Working on a lot of stuff at once as usual. Plenty of pendants and Tangaroa wall mounts (less than 15 left on the run of 25) plus some vintage styled tin signs. Details on those soon.
Here's a couple of pics from this morning's work.

Oh, I'm getting the creepies with the finger opposite the drill bit. How about a piece of wood to press against the head in case the drill bit goes through?
Lots of fun painting ahead. Those will look great.
I wish we could drop by, Wendy

Thanks Wendy! As dangerous as that pic looks, the drill is going super slow...when I feel some heat on my finger tip I know it's getting close then I move it. So far it's worked! 
I have listed the Frankenstein Mini Mug at the Tiki Tower store. It's actually more like a very substantial double shot mug. Only holds 2 ounces but I think it looks pretty cool. Here's the link:
http://tikitower.storenvy.com/products/1217981-mini-frankenstein-monster-mug
Also just finished a few more ceramic items and a fully painted Uncle Max. Wish I had time to do more of the full color Max...very time consuming for me!
Also, worked on this digital study today:
More soon!

My first thought when I saw this pic was "Don't let Wendy see that or she'll give you a safety lecture"
Then I saw that the next post was Wendy giving you a safety lecture 
Wendy, thank you for looking out for us
That Frank really turned out well Robert. (I won't ask how you held the drill, the pendant, and the cameral all at once)

Jumped right into a new cigar box painting....haven't painted one in a while, disarming MadDogMike of his usual "Boy! You smoke alot of cigars" joke!
More soon!

Thanks Tigertail777! The box is not quite done. And the Tiki Magazine thing is the Page 7 Artist, still pretty exciting!
