So how did it happen? Firstly, my friend Jenn R.'s inquiry on previous igloos planted the seasonal seeds. Quite unfair, now that I ponder her gardening. I actually told myself not to build another igloo that day, however after 20 minutes of clearing walkways and sidewalk, a 10ft snow mountain demands deeper considerations. So K-dawg's enthusiasm for Castle Grayskull cemented our ambitions

During the reflective segment of his interview, a Louisiana fisherman declared, "We've sold our souls for the Superbowl". Smothered between allegations of British Petroleum pay-offs, sex scandals and a dismissive Cajun drawl, this statement surprisingly brought me back to the Vikings and Saints conference championship earlier this year. Post game, I recalled feeling that a few of the athletes'

Sir George peaks both curiosity and confusion.  It's different, unusual, and deliberately stealthy.  And because of this stealth, I'm compelled to share how simply Sir George works. Hold between index & thumb Pinch Index & thumb Place into lips Voila!  Auf Wiedersehen confusion, Hallo clarity.  The obvious thing to do next is video Sir George in action.  Stay tuned.

I'm proud to say I began the Obama bust from a wax head of moderate likeness. After Grey provided gestural control art, the body was added and the bust began its new life. Funny enough, an artist adds their sensibilities or fills the holes in there knowledge or abilities both consciously and subconsciously with what they do know. Case in point, my Asian heritage managed to filter an Asian

Okay it's been a long time. However, I'm relatively proud of my contribution in the creation one of the best Obama sculpts out there. Known as the "Renegade" and tangibly representing what change looks like, I've got to say that this creation is exactly that. Master sculptor, Grey Williamson proves once again that there are no accidents in creating compelling works of art that transcends the

Well, the marines of my raiding party, will be the beetle pipes. Testing has increased both my pride and concerns. Performance was simple and flawless, as it pulled nicely and lighting her up was not construed as technical, challenging, or stressful. It had a simple, straightforward operation with no learning curve, and felt compact. Brass components added to a solid weight and feel. Stress

Many moons ago, at university, the floodgate of creative forces buckled under the weight of stagnating complacency and released one of my earliest episodes of fearless creative exploration. All exploded as neither right or wrong existed as consequence, only release. Unfortunately, at the edge of the digital age, rare images and distorted memories only hint at the all consuming euphoria that

Ladies & comps, I proudly introduce the 1st member of the Beetle's Pipe Collective. The faceting and metallic finish is based on knighthood and of course their armor, hence I give you, Sir John. I'm not completely thrilled with the brass stem solution as it fights the design, however the compromise improves functionality with more clearance and maintenance with a removable bolt for cleansing.

Baby turtle locket designed to be constructed without adhesives. All the faceting will translate nicely in a tinted clear resin.Fem fatale pipe concept. Light the tooter, cup the hooter, and steal a kiss. Uber early stage, but perhaps a famous woman like Norma Jean, etc. Of course the final piece would have to be casted in a metal.Connect...Discuss on The Ethyr

Okay I may have slightly exaggerated the ineffectiveness of the original beetle's lever mechanism, and despite some compromises, I'm excited to share this much needed "oooooh yeaaaah! giggly giggly" moment of totally stoked bemusement. Take it away Maxwell!!!! Connect...Discuss on The Ethyr

The resin cast of the wax original has revealed the limitations of the design. The greater friction in the resin has translated into a gummy lever mechanism and ultimately a a clumsy operation. Wing/ shell clearance from the bowl is inadequate as well which contributes to a stressed experience. I'm moderately pleased with it's potential look and feel. but a redesign in the mechanism,

Here's my current obsession; Hercules Beetle pipe. The beetle just seemed the ideal housing for a pipe amongst a myriad of possibilities. Still working out the kinks in the mechanics and feel, but overall, I'm enjoying the direction it's heading. The prototype is imminent!Connect...Discuss on The Ethyr

I can be a bit compulsive so when inspiration strikes, I get obsessed with it. For some reason my latest muse has taken the form of a turtle.Turtles have roamed this earth for hundreds of millions of years. Not unlike their cousin the crocodile or their fish friend the shark, turtles represent divine design that has remained relatively unchanged for nearly as long. They are pervasive throughout

A friend requested a glimpse into my head. This is an attempt to accommodate that request. I'll try to share the things that interest me somehow. I promise little, hope for much, and ask forgiveness from the start so that I may share most. As it is my intention to develop something different yet relevant, I demand your impressions and suggestions. Tear me down and build me up and just maybe
