The Ridiculous Mug (Shank Mug)

This digital artwork is part of a conceptual series exploring ceramic objects with ridiculous and impractical features. "The Ridiculous Mug (Shank Mug)" presents a coffee mug with an integrated shank-like protrusion, creating an absurd and deliberately impractical drinking vessel that challenges conventional ceramic design.

The piece serves as both a digital concept art for physical ceramic mugs and a commentary on the intersection of functionality and absurdity in everyday objects. By incorporating an element typically associated with tools or weapons into a domestic drinking vessel, the work explores themes of utility, safety, and the unexpected combinations that arise in conceptual design.

This digital representation is part of "The Ridiculous Mug" series, which questions our relationship with functional design through intentionally impractical and humorous features that highlight the conventions we take for granted in everyday objects.
