Thanks for taking the time to view my art. Thanks also to all the blowers I've worked with over the last eight years.
Big respect to Jason lee, Kevin Nail, Slinger, Pakoh, Mada, D-wreck and everybody else.
Thanks,

This is another Escher adaptation. He remains a favorite artist. Still intriguing years after seeing it for the first time.

I know it doesn't really make sense. these are a couple of single I made recently. I havn't made a natural perc. since I used to work with leebo in the 49th st. For a time you would only see natural perc. second chambers, never stemmed. These are both made from blowouts and 'all rod reversals.' TRhanks for looking.
As for the dogs, I get a lot of questions. From left to right they are St Bernard, Rottie/Sheperd And the third is Rottie/sheperd/Aussie shep/goldenretriever and maybe some keishound.

This is the big brother of the Green Leaf. There's a lot of 40 mil rod in this one. The reversals are un-sleeved with no pre made tubing. It's just over 15 inches tall, the flat spot is 5.5 inches across and it weighs 4.83 pounds. Glad I didn't have to ship it. Thanks-MNP

I've been a long time M.C. Escher fan. My first memories of his art are from kindergarden. Sometimes life seems to be all about mathematics. Might I say "the wrath of the math."

The thornless rose. This was one I probably shouldn't have sandblasted. It had alot of color definition before. Now it's pretty well obscurred by the texture. Thanks for looking.

These two pieces are made with some classic colors. Momka's silver beach and some old abe cobalt from like 3 years ago my shop mate had. The pieces are 100% simax and I am very happy with the colors. The Bub also has my first ever snorkel. Peace-MNP.

The Beatles were a major part of the soundtrack of my childhood. I spent many of my youngest days in front of the stereo listening to Abbey Road or The White Album. My parents weren't huge Stones fans, but they made it into the mix on occasion. Thanks-MNP

This image showed up in my email one day. It took forever to clean, but I think the image came through relatively clear. After all that I felt like I ought to use it twice. It's an Escher.
Thanks for the time. Peace-MNP

Hammers are some of my favorite pieces. That said I have made to many to count. Never in my memory can I conjure a hammer quite like this. Could of been a calamity, but I'm real pleased with the way it turned out. Thanks for looking.

I've had a long time distaste for crayon colors. I never wanted to use them. But after years of stubbornly snubbing A wide spectrum of colors, I made a change. These are the first experiments. Thanks to Chris Carlson for giving me a demo that helped start all this. Thanks for looking.

A sound like wailing winter winds
Any fan of Wu-Tang knows the sick Gza solo album "Liquid Swords" . The story of the Shogun Assassin. It's the prequel to the epic "Lone Wolf and Cub". For anyone that's lost. It's like the japanese bonanza with no Haas or Andrew.
This is the first of a couple of inline up-perks I made. Check out more images at thataintart.com. Thanks-MNP

Actually a misnomer. These Jason Lee inspired pieces are alot of fun. I got the inspiration when I saw an old J. Lee shop piece floating around Berkeley. Since they've been around the shop they've been called Blasters. Big Ups to the man for years of inspiration.

Also known as Eucalyptus Neglecta... Round to oblong leafs. Blue green in color With jagged exfoliating bark that encases the tree. Fast growing and larger than many in the genus.
This piece is along the same lines as the Green leaf, but it is a little bit larger. Thanks for your time. Peace-MNP

This form is the same as the species, except that it has a yellow sulcus. This is a form of P. aurea and is not the same as Yellow Groove Bamboo. It is a fine form with the Form 'Koi' to make an interesting planting of reversed color.

The rarely offered Snakeskin or Panther Bamboo from China, is hardy down to -15C, and is classed as a GIANT bamboo. The Panther Bamboo is so named because as the canes mature thay are speckled with black and purple, giving the appearance of a Panther coat.

This here is a little pipe that seems to be acting as a host for this invasive little plant. I believe it to be C. Maklainoi but it also may be C. S. Macklrois its quite hard to distinguish.

Hard to tell if this is a repost or not. I took my least favorite of the fumed set I just made and gave it a little flavor. This is and adaptation of Utagawa Hiroshige wood block that was on the Utagawa Hirosige tube thanks for looking. Peace-MNP

Imagine having no running water to drink, chemicals contaminate the pipes leading to the sink; just think, if the grocery stores close there doors and they saturate the streets with tanks and start martial law. Would you be ready for Civil War? could you take the life of somebody you know or have feelings for?... be prepared for the worst has yet to come.

This is one of those old school techniques. I used to make these pieces, but when they go bad It's a lot of opals in trash. The Bub id 10 inches and the vase is 7 inches. The micro vase is 2 1/2 inches and wider than tall. Thanks-MNP

Two of my favorite artists were wood block carvers from the Late 1700's. Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). This is the first of what I hope to be an ongoing series honoring these two. I find it fitting that images, that were originally carved into wood, are now being carved into glass. The following image was adapted from a Utagawa Hiroshige wood block. Thanks-MNP

Thanks to everyone that has looked at my pieces. Also a big shout to my buddy for helping me with this confounded box.
I most likely will not be responding to every comment; as I hate computers and am a bit of a recluse.
