Hukilau 2021 Octopus & Mermaid Mug - by Mitch O'Connell and Eekum Bookum
in 3 collections
This was the event mug for the 18th annual Hukilau, held Sept. 16th -19th, 2021 at the Beachcomber Resort & Club in Pompano Beach and The Mai-Kai restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.
This mug was based on artwork by Mitch O'Connell. It is shaped like a large Octopus wearing a hat whose romantic affection is directed at the mermaid in front of him. The octopus is plying her with rum bottles and has a bunch of flowers and a diamond engagement ring behind his back, ready to pop the question. Other octopus tentacles are holding a lime and a pineapple.
Originally, John Mulder stated that all the mermaids were intended to be topless but he decided to put bikini tops on them at the last minute. However, about 5 or so topless versions made it through quality control. Additionally, reports have filtered in of some octopuses (octopi?) with fezes.
*NOTE: YouTube video below has clip with John Mulder explaining the mug at the 10:39 mark.
