Sithek Bufect (Got some thing in both hands for India and China)

Well folks its been long enough and now its time to show you all one of the ideas that I been working on since mid 2009. This beast represents a new approach for me, and a progression of the evolutionary theme that I have allways put into my work. This character Sithek Bufect represents the movement of my work in reaction to the huge wave of work that carries a similar feel and look to my origional "Salt" style. My effort to remain origional has allways been important to me however I would be remiss without a mention of certain influences both within and without the glass pipe community. First and formost I have to tip my hat to Banjo who has continually reformed my preception of what is possible technically and has allways been a huge inspiration. Also the interaction with and the exposure to the work of Zach Pukawitz has been a great influnce. It seems that it might have been easier for me to continue down the path that I have allready paved making the style of work that I am known for. However if I am to remain honest to my self and the concepts that I believe add so much potency to my pieces then certain elements of my body of work must be retired. That said I will no longer make the constricted snapper slides that have been so popular. Once I finish the last few that I have allready prepped for I will never make this product again. I want to thank the entire ecosystem that makes up our community for its support and feed back. I am honored to count my self as a member of this movement and I strive promote and nurture it however possible.
