Ubu And The Electric Garden

One day while playing with his master, "Ubu The Pitbull" ran into the forest to retrieve his ball. As Ubu searched, he came to find his ball at rest in the middle of a strange and glowing, almost electric, garden of mushrooms. Ubu gave a wag of his tail as he rooted around through such an interesting garden! As with most dogs, he couldn't resist chewing on something and in all his excitement one of those strange sponge-like life forms seemed ideal!!
He began munching on one and to his surprise Ubu suddenly transcended into a strange and completely different land-- although, he was still in the garden. Ubu noticed his whole body had been transformed! When he looked up he saw a small humanoid with three eyes welcoming him into the garden. Ubu didn't understand exactly,
"Where am I, and who are you?" he questioned.
The huminoid replied,
"My name is Harmony and you my friend are in the Great Unknown, of course!!"

Together, the two traveled through the cosmos and eventually they came to the Keeper of the Collective Conscience...................

Thanx for looking.

My name is Merc. Ive been on the torch since 1999. I love glass and our culture. I chose American art pipe as my medium because of it's many options of expression and techniques. For hundreds of years people have embraced pipes in many different cultures and have regarded them as sacred objects used in ceremonies or for everyday use of tobacco, but still valued by their owner no less. I create pieces with hopes that the viewer is brought to a different perception of a pipe rather than function alone. Threw piping I have found victories, failure, friends, pain, joy, travels, and my identity. Nothing has ever held my attention as much as silica. Some of the greatest artists to ever exist have come from this community, so to say it's wrong or to declare it criminal is a blow to everyone who understands what this planet is minus any of the forms of art!!!


I've remained hidden over the years but recently decided to share my collected works to the public. I'm slowly putting pieces up both recent and past and have been enjoying interacting with all of you. Allot has changed since I started including the way I was taught. Through perseverance and some help from a few friends{ Whodanish, Salt, Dankstar,Crite,Robone..ect} and lots of inspiration, I feel that I have achieved an understanding of boro. I'm thankful for glass as well the workers of it. To all who view pipers please understand the risks and sacrifices it takes to pursue our dreams. Know the history of this craft if your just getting started and it will take you to great destinations!!! Thankx to all who support and a special thankx to my wife and children as well as my friends Salt, Freeek, Cowboy and Beth, Revin Evolution and Hill.Without them I would have lost the dream along time ago! I'm inspired by all of you as well as everything. Peace Merc
