"Spending some time in the Marquesas you see tikis everywhere, stone and wood carvings decorating everything from driveways, to cemeteries, buildings, parks and even just dotted along the roadside. This Marquesan inspired sculpt was started in between projects, as a way to work out some fun ideas. Featuring a slanted head and big neck scoop, this boi is nice to hold. I wanted to use different techniques, so I made a special tattoo for the back, applied to each mug individually and glazed on. For now they will be glazed in the wood brown with different inside colors."
