well, this is my best yet. its been about a year since i started making anything but production and what an amazing year its been. this site has been so inspirational, i'm so grateful its here and i'm greatly appreciative. props to erik, art ulloa, fluid motion, fro, dosh, bearclaw, smiley, dp,jp, jeh, sg,adam(piss n cheese) g.,pakoh, J-LEE,eugene rain, and everyone who posts their shit here at the risk of criticism, you all have pushed and inspired me more than you'll ever know. this is the most fun i've ever had blowing glass. i spent three days messin with it. it has amber purple in a million ways. frit, coiled, blown out, rod encased, solid fats, ratty, disk flips, implosion, dot swirled,honeycomb, you name it. 13 opal chips. three disk flips stuck together for the center section on the bucket. thank you all so much!! this is the first time i made something and was completely happy with it. thanks for looking. chris.

this one didn't come out how i would have liked. i hit the retti's on the marver a little too hard and smeared em a little, oh well. marble is a cane retti, and the mouthpice is disco encased with cobalt backed w/ frit. i love that part!! got a few more of those comin! really thick and heavy, kinda ridiculous. hope you like, chris.

howdy, i'm chris and i've been blowin glass since spring 01'. got to start the real adventure three years in, makin other than production. i love clean lines and lots of contrast. art deco and graffiti are probably my biggest influences. it been a blast, and it keeps getting better all the time. most of my nicer stuff is at the sandbox here in southern cali. i plan on doing this till the day i die. buck fush. i love you all. i hope you enjoy. i always welcome any advice or pointers or questions. also, none of the glass displayed here is for sale. thanks for looking, chris.
PROPS and major influence - Tommy Chong for opening the door to this amazing medium and lifestyle.jeremiah G cleaned me up and taught me the basics, Arturo Ulloa taught me all the tricks and keeps SoCAl real., jefe Mcwild helped me look at it from another angle, Jamie made it possible for me to explore and gave me the space and tools to do it. Now i'm in Oregon and have to give love to Marcel, J.Lee, and Dale for welcoming me into one the sickest studios on the planet. and to Shad and the SOul Fired crew, kickin down mad knowledge and good times...
