COWBOY>WS>DOSA...

Was down in LA for the Dead show, just One More Saturday Night. Of course a stop by the Wicked Sands bay was definitely in order. Lucky for me, not only was JOP in the house, but Cowboy as well! Got to meet him, along with his wife & children, and we all ended up rolling out to the Forum for some lot mischief, with a devilish bub he did with Banjo! Real honor to meet such a talented artist, and was hoping to score a few of his slides he had there, but they had all been spoken for already much to my chagrin. But he was so kind to give the bat he had in his pocket at that moment, which might I add, is a gorgeously detailed little candy-cane-colored delight - thanks mucho amigo!

His faceted stuff is so awesome, I can't wait to get some on the site and on my own shelf moreover! Got to see a JOP/Cowboy/Luke Wilson colloboration they had just made; a super-tall can bub with a middle fingered Shiva figure and matching finger slide! That description can't even begin to do that work of art justice, but I didn't get any pics unfortunately. Had the beginnings of a gigantic chicken bub in the kiln as well, man, these guys don't mess around down heah! Got to enjoy a pull off the 36-arm monster I was witness to its birthing when I was down there last (I had thought there was another chamber but I misspoke obviously), and man, no mercy, ha. Also got to enjoy some good convo with the man behind WS, and big props to ya brother, you are one of my new role models for sure, heh. Got to meet the man behind the trees as well, Mr. Luke Wilson, while in town also. Lots of heavy hitters hanging round this camp, no doubt, jeez. Brought home 2 new worked straights, one with a sick FTC scheme,

and 2 worked tinys; a beaker and a straight, which I will post by tomorrow sometime is the plan. More on the way as well, they are so damn fine!

Oh, and Dosaglass' "Yosemite" sets are en route to the site as well! (Get it? Half-Dome...cheeeeez)
