Hardened Criminal Coffee Mugs

The Mugga Mug is One Tough Looking Coffee Mug

— January 28, 2014 — Art & Design
This criminal coffee mug design might seem rough and shady on the outside, but he's paid his debt to society, and is looking for honest work as a coffee mug.

Called the Mugga Mug, this rough looking coffee cup is made of white porcelain, and drawn with beady eyes and a rugged five o'clock shadow. The ski mask he wears is removable, and not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the cup, but also keeps your coffee or other hot beverage warmer for longer, as well as letting you hold your Mugga Mug without burning your hands, in case you happen to like your coffee very hot.

Sure to make all the other mugs around it uncomfortable, the Mugga criminal coffee mug is ready to make an honest living.
