This mug was based on Big Toe's (Tom Laura's) painting, The Other. It is a re-imagining or "What If?" that considers the end of Mary Shelly's classic story of Frankenstein's Monster and what might have happened if instead of going to the North Pole at the end he had hopped a ship to the South Seas instead and found more inclusion among native islanders.
The mug is a depiction of the Monster similar to Universal's classic flat head version with bolts in the neck, but he is dressed in Victorian finery with a bow tie and suit, and his face is covered in Maori moko tattoos.
This version is embellished by Weena Bee.
From Weena Bee: "I use apoxy sculpt, acrylic paint, and waterproof sealant on the exterior of this mug. The interior is fully glazed and food safe, however I recommend treating this as a work of art. "
