Hand Crafted Tiki Mugs
June 11, 2008 10:28 AM   Subscribe

Vantiki is the work of Hawaiian artist Henrik Van Ryzin. His specialty is hand-crafted, one of a kind Tiki Mugs, each with their own special twist.

My favorite would be the Cursed Idol Hands, where the idea was you would flip them over to drink from the wrist. The “curse” being the fact that you’d have to finish your entire drink before you could flip the mug back over to put back down.

Be sure also to check out his other oddities, such as his Spooky Skulls tiles.

Perhaps his coolest project would be his GeoTikiCoins, which are all sold out. However, you can hunt for them in the wild with Geocaching.

Those are clever, but tacky. They look like they should be in an aquarium.

I was just coming in here to post a link to the muntiki site, but I see that I'm just repeating myself.

These are very cool.

He has The Vampire Bat one on EBAY and the current bid is 280.00. I'm glad I catch a bunch of Free Mardi Gras cups every year.
