    Batter up, the new MotherShip Klein finally comes to the plate in rotation. I had several others ahead in rotation so it took a while :) Used the mini Hamm Sputnik for a few days so this one is ready. Wish me luck :)

    Commissioned artwork

    Sorry guys. I'll throw something out soon on this topic. I'm typically a less demanding customer on giving inputs which sometimes difficult for the artist i.e. I leave a pretty open field. Some artists need more direction and some don't want it. I tend to just pick the artist based on previous...

    don't think its available anymore. They move quick. However, it pretty straight forward to do another if you do want one in the future.

    Yes I was amazed when I heard that. He did study under some heavy weights also. Popo was one I know. Popo doesn't do much pipes these days so many don't know him. He does pure glass art now. Lamps, shades etc. That said he applies himself very well, works hard and has tremendous talent. Got to...

    Boy just got home from a full day at the DFO in Eugene. Talk about artists and major glass floating around, but watching the artists work (like Cowboy) and meeting them was even better. Hanging with Bob Snodgrass for a while was really cool. He is an out going and all smile type of person...
