First, here's a photo of me with cardboard Danny DeVito
Second, I'm a potter. Here are some pots!
I make these badass mugs with glazes inspired by galaxies and nebulae.
My buddy took this sexy potting photo (OOOOoooo SEXY)
I make these mugs from scratch, they're super cool, 100% non-toxic and dishwasher safe (DUUH it's a mug for Christ's sake)
Tiny cups too...good for liquor.
Here's the problem...I launched them on Kickstarter so people could get them at a discount and we're SOOO FREAKING CLOSE to reaching our goal! If you think this is cool...help a potter out?

Dude, I would love a shaving bowl with this design on it.

A Kickstarter for mugs? I'm pretty sure they've been invented already.

You wear a cap because you're a Hairy Potter?

I thought it really was about Harry Potter! Clickbait! Still upvoted.

I think I play too much Zelda. I wanted to smash all those pots and get the rupees.

I came here to be entertained, not buy overpriced ceramics. Fuck off

On a scale of 1-10 how single and ready to mingle are you?
SEXYWHALE4LIFE
I've seen ads for these on Facebook
27yoUGLYvirgin
If that's true it makes me wonder how much money OP has and if it's really right to ask for donations. Facebook adds are super expensive.
Myniggathatwasdeep
no chance in hell id pay 49 dollars for a mug, but gl man

How would you feel about me putting on unchained melody and sitting behind you for a little while as you're trying to work?

I was going to suggest the same except with op sitting behind me

You and DeVito would make a cute couple, OP -

How do we do the buying of the galaxy mugs? Hmm. ?

Where can I get one @op ?

Hippiegaia
can I buy one of these?!?!
ITalkAboutGoats
Are you effing kidding me, 50 bucks for a mug? An ugly mug at that.
ShrubNinja
I really don't see "galaxy" when I look at the paint. It looks like something you'd see in a middle school art class.
ITalkAboutGoats
Looks like someone dropped paint near the thing and it landed on the cup.
MountainEngine
Truly beautiful. I'm going to buy one for my wife and then slowly over on it. Or get two. I'll get two.
McGoog
I have the same name as a cat.

Is OP single? I like pots.

Now were asking the real questions! Haha

theunchosenflener
Matt Sterbenz, does pottery. Charged me $50 for a well made tea set. A teapot and two cups. 50 for a mug is kinda hefty.

Devito & The Potter. I'd watch it.

What like that scene from ghost?

@OP here should definitely enter the Secret Santa. Wish he would.
goldengoldblum
I've only been here for a short time and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain how One may participate in this. Thanks :)
SugarPieHoneyBun
There is a website... www.giftagiraffe.com You can also search imgur for Secret Santa 2015. The coordinator Martyn, has a few withmore info.
comicreader
Did you sign up for the imgur secret santa? I decided against. If you have how was your experience? PM is ok.
SugarPieHoneyBun
On app, so can't PM. Just signed up today for 1st time. If you search Secret Santa 2015 in imgur, there are info posts for it...(1/?)
SugarPieHoneyBun
(2) and many people commented with both negative and positive experiences.
beng98
How does secret santa work? I never learned. Do you have to be glorious or like?
SugarPieHoneyBun
Nope! They made a website with all the info www.giftagiraffe.com

At this point, I'm just hoping that my SS doesn't send me a framed picture of his cat. Or a trash can lid.

J/K, a framed cat pic would be awesome.

Social Savannah the imgur social site does one and Reddit does one.

Go to www.giftagiraffe.com. They made a website to make it easier

I don't have an entry for you under giftagiraffe.com's secret santa. Just FYI

When is the secret santa thing? I was hoping they'd do that this year so I could sign up for it
SugarPieHoneyBun
Right now! Today is the last day for regular matches. If the entry page is still up, you can still enter! www.giftagiraffe.com

YOU, sir, are the saint! I hope it didn't overwhelm your site, or step on any toes. Just wanted to make sure people knew where to go.

myvaginaisangry
$49 for a mug though
goingtochipotlewitharistotle
Yep. I can find awesome stoneware mugs at thrift stores for $1.
featherpower
Handmade. His time is worth it.
CavendishBandana
$49 for a usable piece of art
PixieVixie
Handmade v. Mass produced. This is why trades and skills die off sadly. We all have priorities.
Lizismyname
Handmade never gets what it's worth. Artists don't get near the amount they put in. Nobody is willing to pay for quality anymore.
Ryvienna
I'm also a potter, and I sell mine for $20. I think he might be selling them for so much to cover his start-up costs.
abracadabrajahbuloneymahaboneyahyahyah
username checks out
thecesar3
Honestly at most $20
thecesar3
Also, depending on the size
wam3483
Yeah I'll never pay $49 for a mug. Just too much, and i have different priorities.
callekiai
Some things just aren't worth being handmade. A handmade painting is great. A handmade fork normally isn't worth the effort.
rhinoloupe
People will pay more for craftsmanship, and craftsmen shouldn't sell themselves short by trying to compete with the mass market.
MorphineSundae
Agreed. I'm the kinda person that will pay $49 for a mug that was handmade and I REALLY liked. Why the fuck not? Treat yo self.
jkrayola
He's a family friend, we own a mug and shot glass. I'm convinced they are unbreakable. Microwave and dishwasher safe and cool as hell.
IsaiahPascoe
Mugs on retail store self of the same size and leear quality are about 130$ "cheap"
THEBEARDEDWARRIOR
What the hell kind of store do you shop at? I have a bunch of hand made mugs and I've never spent more than $25 on one.
cuzitsthere
30 bucks for a 24 piece of glasses and mugs at Wal-Mart
thedarnthingsgotwings
Took ceramics for a few years in college. $45 is cheap.
goforchristinam
The reason I picked painting over ceramics as my concentration for my art degree was cost of material! Much easy to copy/fix a damaged
alltheprettyblemmeys
thanks for stating your credentials
GamesDeen
I bought a mug for $4.99. It holds my coffee just fine.
Agent
Its like being... mugged.
Buttcrimes
leave now!
Estbgti
He's taking them for a mug.
callekiai
With a mug only a mother could love.
spacecrumbs
Time. Cost of material. Getting the material. Cost of shipping. Shipping materials. And don't forget the effort it takes to perfect his work
spacecrumbs
And it's unique, handmade, and one of a kind. Which is better than paying 49$ for a brand name gift everyone else has in their house.
wam3483
Can you point me to a brand name $40 cup? And the idiot that bought it so I can shoot him?
myvaginaisangry
That's cool and all but I personally can't justify paying that much for a mug
IamTerribleAtCreatingUserNames
I mean, it looks like he puts quite a bit of time into it. I'd buy iy if I could afford it. I love coffee. And nice mugs.
Maniko
Errr...you could find cool ones,handmade too,and ask for the paint you want for 1or 2 dinar in Tunisia...(~1$/2$).. But it's in Tunisia ^^;
myvaginaisangry
Yeah they're totally cool but I'm poor
iwillstitchyoulikeoneofmyfrenchgirls
With a cool mug, no vagina can be angry...
myvaginaisangry
OK you buy me a cool mug, and I'll tell you if it soothes my vagina.
iwillstitchyoulikeoneofmyfrenchgirls
I'm a poor student, but if ever start to earn money I will buy you a mug!
cherricopottery
Funny how $49 for a handmade painting seems cheap but $49 for a handmade mug seems expensive...
goforchristinam
I like that they are practical. I actually hate impractical stuff. A mug I could use everyday & get my $49 worth after only a week
rumnmonkey
Have you considered creating items which are more decorative and less practical? 50$ can seem steep for a mug, even one of such high quality
throwaway95
Art is art. Regardless of the canvas. I'd totally pay that much if I had it right now. Keep up the awesome work :)
katelikesrectangles
But you need a whole bunch of mugs for friends and stuff. If you have friends. And stuff.
dephress
You should do some sort of limited-time, imgur-related sale...
Estbgti
Not really, paintings are hung on walls to decorate houses, while mugs are kept in the cupboard and constantly dropped. I'll be honest 1/2
Estbgti
You're having people on at $50 a mug. 2/2
foddysamel
True, but, i probably won't drop and shatter a painting.
goforchristinam
As a painter, you'd be amazed how easy it is to wreck a painting. Hole in the canvas, cracked frame, water damage. All these happen to my
misskittyamazing
This is exactly what I was thinking.
FachaBella
Why not make vases?
IHazAwoken
Yes! I would pay 50 bucks for a vase from you...even 60! Can't make my brain believe it's okay for a mug tho..
perhapsitstuesday
But think of how many more you'd be able to sell at a more reasonable price than that..
ElGatoGordo
I'm a potter and you can't think that $49 is 100% fair. You can probably throw 15 of these an hour, right?Especially with the wrinkle...
ElGatoGordo
I mean they don't even have trimmed feet? Really? You throw them off the hump and don't even finish the piece...
mmmmbacon22
I'm also a potter and mugs give the least payout for some of the most work.
ElGatoGordo
These mugs are thrown off center, off the hump, and they don't have trimmed feet. They have the wrinkle because they aren't balanced. $10.
mmmmbacon22
They're centered, just have undulating form. I agree not $50. More like 25-35 dollar range. I think glaze time is most of his cost.
ElGatoGordo
Did you watch the video of him throwing off the hump? I wouldn't call them centered.
myvaginaisangry
Do you decorate your house with mugs? I don't. To each his own, I guess
theyregonnakillthatpoorwoman
I do!
jdeman
I think some people do
cornedbeefhash
...I do. I collect mugs, from traveling, special occasions, fan-girl related, etc. I have too many for my cupboards (Nevermind the 3 boxes>
cornedbeefhash
in storage...) so they've started living on bookshelves and counters and furniture....
