Okay, so I've seen way too many threads go up lately about glass, glass artists, etc (yes I know, guilty as charged)...
As such, I got to thinking... whats the EASIEST way for people to check out whats available in the MJ related glass world (and then some!)? Seems to be Instagram at this point. basically EVERY glass blower/artist has an IG feed which he/she shows off their wares to both sell and just to show off. In either case, this is the perfect venue in which to explore these artists as potential clients... or maybe simply to just admire from afar given the cost of some of this stuff. I mean, everyone likes to window shop once in a while, heh.
So, in summary, I invite you FC members to post up anything on IG glass related. When you do though, I just ask that you follow these simple rules:
In any case, let me start by introducing you to the master who did the work I used as an example above:
#puntington
http://websta.me/n/puntington
Puntington aka "Punty" is a god in the glass world. He makes amazing pictures with glass that I've never seen anyone able to replicate as well as being the master of the rainbow wig-wag. He's also a big 80/90s cartoon/video game fan, as you can see in his art.
That said, I hear people (who prepaid) wait over a year and his stuff is NOT cheap (well into the 6 figures and above).
FUCKING TESLA!

- Post the Instagram USER NAME and/or HASHTAG for the person/shop/piece you are trying to show us.
- Please include a URL for those who are on a desktop style device and dont have an IG app available, as such: http://instagram.com/caligulasruination/ <--shameless plug (the websta.me link would also be greatly acceptable, lick such: http://websta.me/n/caligulasruination)
- Brief description as to why you're linking us to this stuff.
- If possible, please include a snapshot/example. The easiest way would be to use the website: http://websta.me/ to hot link pictures posted on IG accounts by opening said pic, right clicking, and copying the image URL as such:
