    The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
    We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.

    Probably starting a new thread, but is anyone going to the Sea otter classic?

    I am trying to decide whether to pull the trigger and get a booth. it is insanely expensive, though...

    OK, here is my first 'professional' commission piece. It is for snake River brewing, and it is to celebrate their award winning (6.7%!) beer, Pako's. So for those of you who love the brew, it's pako's time somewhere!

    Edit - I just saw your address in the other thread.
    Did you ever get the box of parts I sent you? Were you able to use any of it?

    Ig, I most likely used a few parts that went to gravitylover's shop in NYC. Lots more to come, though. Thanks again.

    Todays piece, a seemingly super simple picture frame. but really, a ton going on.
    check it:
    (sorry for the lousy pics, I really need a studio!)


    but wait, there is a lot to it.
    Grinding out the ring:


    Drilling and tapping the chail link clasps for the wood backing:



    Insetting the wood backing:

    I didnt get any photos of cutting the glass, and creating spacers for the glass/ring interface out of links, but you get the idea.
    With this piece, the craftsmanship is as much in what you will never see as much as what you will.
    $85 shipped, I can do these with your own rings for an even better story.

    This one is a hybrid fantasy piece, for a friend who has a computer company, and is a KTM rider...lots of stuff going on here. The craftsmanship is really developing. Chainguard is vintage...









    This thing is so badass on the wall!
