(Glass Sculpture Bubblers)

HomeGrown Set Sometimes when all is going along smooth in life, you get backhanded and dropped to the ground just because. That is what my summer felt like, and it took a lot of introspection to get things back on track. Emotionally, mentally, and physically I was tested to a point that I thought I would break.
Things are better than ever, primarily thanks to my Mirage and a few icy liquid tanks.
Having glass as an outlet is as good as the best anti-depressant on the market, and really helped me power through a rough summer.

I spent a lot of time locked down in the studio this summer to put things back into perspective, and grew quite a bit as an artist, both in vision and technical skills.

Thanks to Pakoh, Slinger, Chris Carlson, Ross, Hamm and all the others for the tree of inspiration that I feed off of on a daily basis.

Summer sucks
I feel this post down to the letter. Its an every day struggle. I cant say I know how you feel but...I know how you feel. I guess we all get tested at times and I think its a test of our character. What we are able to endure. Its good you're pulling through it. More power to you.

Gettin Plowed! i love that little tractor.
it may be a struggle, but we are truely blessed to have this medium at our disposal.
despite the agony of not knowing what will arise around each new corner, we embrace the oppertunity succeed or fail at our own hands.
our lows only serve to contrast our highs, and make them seem more magnificent.
hang in there blade, and keep creating.
