VanTiki Working on trackable clay tikicoins. What are those, you ask? Well, I'm a huge fan of Geocaching, and have been making my own signature clay coins for a while. Now the new ones will be trackable via geocaching.com!

Clinton Starr Great work as usual, I'm coming over for vacation at the end of March. Would love to stop by the studio while I'm there. Great work on the Zombie's, I'm bidding.

VanTiki The last two VanTiki mugs of 2009! I agonized over how to glaze these fellows for months - and all the stress and sweat was worth it. They turned out creepily-fantastic (if I may say so myself)!

Do not be alarmed! Yes, it is true, the undead can often be seen lumbering through the jungles of VanTiki Island when there is a full moon. As long as they have not tasted human flesh, they are perfectly safe, and some find their sorrowful moaning to be quite sooth... ...

It would be hard to sell these for me. Only the next mug could release these from MY hands

VanTiki This curious robot was discovered marching through the jungles of VanTiki Island. A lost space explorer? The robotic minion of a mad scientist? Perhaps we will never know, for while this automaton has been gifted with a prodigious brain, it sadly lacks the ability to speak.

VanTiki Brain Bot 01 is ready to meet the world! And being a forward-thinking fellow, he opted to give Etsy a try.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the legendary “Master Mug” - the mug on which all DEMOKU carvings were based. Let your eyes linger over the delicate carvings... feel the heft and power of the mug as you cradle it in your hands... ...
