“Fran had her skin dyed green to accentuate her love of Mother Earth and to show everyone that she was truly “going green”<\/em><\/p>\n

I came up with this new mug design idea last week on Earth Day.\u00a0 I’ve always felt that contemporary environmentalism is more about looking <\/em>and feeling <\/em>green than actually being <\/em>green.\u00a0 Because to actually be<\/em> green, you can’t take cool trips to Hawaii or live in a nice big house in the mountains like we do here in Evergreen.\u00a0 Yes, I suppose I am a bit of a curmudgeon and deserve to be run over by a Prius.\u00a0 I should also disclose that this mug is an homage to my old friend and hero, Fred Babb<\/a>.\u00a0 He’s been a longtime influence on my work and this one looks like something out of his 1995 “Friends and Relatives” calendar.\u00a0 Thanks for all the cosmic inspiration over the years, Fred!<\/p>\n

I was home firing my kiln and it’s my airtight alibi.<\/p>\n
