There is really only one way to buy my work and that is from me. I rarely sell to stores. If you can find me or know one of my friends then you can make it yours.

First Inline

First Inline

This is my first inline to make it. I had one other attemp that fell off the punty at the end and shattered.

Props To Hops for inventing this tek.
I also have to thank Slinger for showing me the right way to do a blowout, which is what most of the piece is.

More to come soon, maybe some politicos...

Free Palestine

Free Palestine

Art evokes emotion and conveys a message.

This is the first in a series of pieces with a political or social theme.

When I first started looking at sandcarving I realized that glass is the perfect medium for Stencil Graffiti art. In my youth I visited the major cities of the US and I always saw stencil art and it often had a political theme.

When I took the class with Slinger I was mostly interested in learning the photoshop techniques. (Magnetic lasso is my friend, Thank You Slinger!)
I was also really interested in how his content was recieved, in other words did people buy it, and after the converstation I had with him on that subject I've decided to just create art that I like and that sends the message that I want to send. If someone buys it great if not I hope it makes people think.
So thats why I'm doing this series because I want to say something. Art for Arts sake...


Thanx fer looking.

Steal Your Art Nouveau Face Bubbler

Art Nouveau style has been used heavily by Stanley Mouse in his psychedelic concert poster art.
Being a Dead Head, Mouse's work has always been an inspiration to me.
