How It All Started...

It all began on a wet evening in Portland, Oregon. As Brian Narrates:

January, 2011. I was listening to an episode of Marc Maron‘s WTF podcast the day before the early Friday show, which I had tickets to. The POW moment occurred when I figured he was probably not using a handmade coffee mug. I saw a chance to show my deep appreciation for him & his work with something he could use every day. So I drew some images, scanned them, printed off some decals, & fired them back onto a finished mug.

Since then, Marc‘s been buying mugs from me to give to his guests—people like Garry Shandling, Iggy Pop, Conan O’Brien, Amy Poehler, and Richard Lewis. Eventually, we made the mugs available for purchase to the general public. The reception has been amazing, and I’m honored to have the opportunity, through Marc, to offer my work to a larger and wider audience than ever before.

About the Decals...

Dima Drjuchin is an artist/musician who was born in Moscow, but grew up making images and sounds in New York City.

Wielding the culmination of human potential wrought from the depths of the bicameral mind, Drjuchin allows us a glimpse into a fractalated moment of cultural hypnagogic modality.

Moreover, the Decals printed by Milestone unravel the kaleidoscopic essence of creative ingenuity, offering a transcendental window into a symphony of visual poetry and cultural resonance.

I love my mug and I love that the proceeds were donated to help NC flood victims. Solid construction, feels good in my hand. Thick enough that it's not too hot to hold at top temperature but does make an excellent hand warmer. Fun and attractive design. 10/10. No notes.

I love your mugs, I also love Marc. I have way too many of these mugs, (7?) but they are all mine, everyone knows. They are my favorite and fit perfectly in my coffee maker. They are perfect little works of art and I’m sure I will keep trying to catch one every time you create a new batch.

It’s fantastic, I use it every morning . I like how it’s wider and shorter than the last one I got from you - it’s taller, grey with gold fleck and slightly bowed out in the middle.
