All collectors have their preferences. I see a lot who only like vintage, or proper tiki, or only from bars they go to.

Aside from the fact that I have to like looking at it, it’s gotta be from a single artist. If more than one mind or sets of hands (Vantiki and Mulder get a pass 😂) have had anything to do with the idea or production, it’s not really for me. I think my whole collection is from 5 or so artists.

Case in point, this albino cobra from Miles Nielsen of Munktiki. There’s only one in this glaze. Definitely my favorite artist. His work is probably 80% of my collection/obsession/money pit.

Anyway, collect whatever you like, and don’t treat this stuff like an investment, because it will all be worth nothing one day. If you can sit and stare at it, or drink out of it (not me) and it makes you happy, then it’s worth it!

The Stitch post got me thinking about Rob, and how much the hobby has changed since he left us. He made me that Skull mask with a color scheme based off of Grim from the Billy and Mandy cartoon, as I am a manchild ha. I’ve got the very first custom Scooby Doo witch doctor mask he made as well. That thing really blew up. It will stay here forever.

Anyway, RIP Rob, the hobby misses you!
