John Mulder started collecting vintage Tiki mugs in the mid 90s. The fascination with Tiki mugs led him to the world of Tiki art and culture. Being a sculptor and painter, it wasn’t long before he started making mugs for his own collection. After a career in the military, he was able to turn his passion for collecting mugs into a profession in 2010. He now lives in St. Petersburg Florida, where he and his wife, Janet, run Eekum Bookum Tiki Mugs and make eye-popping art for everyone to enjoy.
