Mug mania II


A couple of my friends are teaching in the universities in Taiwan. So here are mugs for them. The logo mimics the "I love NY" logo, except it says "I flunk students", where "flunk" replaced "love". Originally we were going to print the logo on a t-shirt and gave to my ex-roommate last year, but never got a chance to do so. The form of the mugs are not so interesting, cause I was in a hurry and did not throw the mug carefully. But I did learned something from these mugs. At least I think I learned something. These mugs are made out of porcelain, and I think I know better about the property of porcelain. The stamps I used are cut from 79 cents form visor from Walmart.

Now I am officially tired of mugs. I am happy with the couple of forms that I liked, and can re-produce it most of the time. so unless I come up with other slogans, no more mugs for me..

Mug mania


This mug is made to express the Taiwanese identity inside me. The characters basically says, "I am a Taiwanese", well, with an attitude. The glaze used is from Tracy Thomas, and we call it Tracy's blue. I had made so many copy of this mugs and giving away to my Taiwanese friends. Since this town is flooded with tons of brain dead Chinese, I hope to sell this mug at the Taste of Champaign to see how the Chinese react to this slogan.
