Announcement!!
There will be a special silent auction of this custom glazed
@tikirob mug at the Official Artist Meet-Up & Book Signing this coming Saturday evening 6-7 p.m. at Arizona Tiki Oasis. Rob’s dear artist friend Carol Gravem aka
@minitikimeow will host a silent auction for the mug and the additional swag in the last pic (TikiRob bar mat, coasters, Kraken pin, stickers). The proceeds go to Rob’s family. Go see Carol at the Official Artist Meet-Up to place a bid!! See below for the amazing history and connections with this mug.
This special auction mug was custom glazed by the legend himself, Rob Hawes aka TikiRob who, sadly, recently lost his long, hard-fought battle with cancer 💔. Rob did the sculpt last year and
@tikifarm is the producer of the mug. This is the house mug that will soon be available at Cabali - the amazing new tiki speakeasy in Oro Valley, AZ owned by Rob’s friend Doug “Fini” Finical. The mug is a tribute to the classic Mark Thomas Outrigger mug and matches the large tiki behind the bar at Cabali (see penultimate pic). Fini is also producer of the upcoming
@cabali movie about tiki mug collecting. Rob did this special custom-glazed version for the auction as one of the very last mugs he glazed himself. Come and see Carol at the Official Artist Meet-Up Saturday evening to bid on this special mug!
