From Taboo Relics:
"In December of 2024, I began working on a secret project. I wanted to take the iconic Formosa neon sign and make it into a mug. Then the idea popped into my head 'What if it actually glows?' I've had some glow in the dark glaze in the shop for a while, but never really put it into action. This was the time, this was the mug.
I could go on for days about what this project meant to me, but for now we'll keep it short and sweet.
Thank you to Bobby and everyone in the @1933group family. Honestly, such an incredible group of people to work with. You've all been so supportive. It is truly an honor to get the opportunity to make art for such genuinely wonderful people.
Thank you to Twin Palms Laser Creations for cutting the swizzles for us.
And a huge thank you to The Shrunken Monkey for helping us out and offering their kiln space to us, could not have done this without you.
To our little circle of friends that I kept bugging with pictures and renderings, we appreciate you and your kind words and support so much."
