Rain's painting from the Hukilau painting demo back in 2003, later auctioned off to support Hukilau. I have several of Rain's paintings, I love his work, and hope to eventually add more! http://rain-art.com/main.html

The next few pix are of the mugs in the upper shelves above the bookcases, some are vintage, others are new. Some mass produced, some limited editions. Eventually, all will get sorted and repositioned. For now, though, mug chaos.
