(Sidecar Bubblers)

Captain Forqueray The only man amongst them wore an elaborately ornamented exoskeleton: a baroque support structure of struts, hinged plates, cables and servo-mechanisms. His face was a skull papered with deathly white skin, shading to black under his bladelike cheekbones. His eyes were concealed behind goggles, his hair a spray of stiff black dreadlocks.
Periodically he inhaled from a glass pipe, connected to a miniature refinery of bubbling apparatus placed before him on the table.

I was outside my building trying to get some better pics of the fuming on this piece when one of my neighbors came by. I was telling him I like to think sci fi shit when I m dreaming up pieces and he lent me a book by Alastair Reynolds. Thats where I got the above quote.

Hello my name is Jesse and I work in Vancouver B.C., Canada.

I got excited about glass on my many trips the the states for music and travel. In late 96 I convinced my friend Dave to come up and teach me some basics. From there I started my long road to being the lampworker I am today.
