Tumbuna - by Joe Vitale - for Tiki Farm
in 0 collections
This mug, with its small eyes, long narrow nose, long narrow tongue, and small pierced ears, it very reminiscent of the earlier Papua New Guinea Mug mug Vitale designed for Guy Fieri’s “Downtown Flavor Town” tiki bar, except it focuses more on the head and that previous mug was a full-body sculpt with the tiki holding a pig over its head.
From Tiki Farm:
"Joe’s style is argued as the most singularly-unique in the Tiki Farm arsenal of the now over 200 artist collaborators within our framework. There are others that come to mind that I feel share in this attribute, but surely Joe is in that top tier of what makes his Tiki artwork easily identifiable as 'A Vitale'. Much the same thing as knowing a Shag mug is 'a Shag' and a Derek Yaniger piece is instantly recognized as 'hey, that’s a Yaniger'. We proudly present you with our newest Vitale – Tumbuna!
Tumbuna stands 8 3/8 inches high and holds 20 oz."
