As we emerge with great gusto into the year 2013 we cannot forget to take a quick look back into the past to check out the latest collaboration between Coyle and Coloardo based artist WJC. I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing WJC’s sacred geometry inspired work several times on my travels to the Shackmansion but since his work mostly stays within state lines most glass enthusiasts outside Colorado haven’t seen him on...

Today we showcase our newest gem from Clout Glass, purveyors of all things cool and classy.

The life of an artist is a troubled at best, so why do they judge, and envy us so? They say we’re cliché while others spout “revolutionary”, they spit and praise all in the same shared breath. They call us snobs, while others defend.  If artists are snobs, it is much in the same humble way that lunatics are: not because they wish to be different, and hope and believe that they are, but because they are forever painfully...

The artist comes in many forms, and Justin Sawyer is a striking example of this unique fact of life. Whether they prefer acrylic on canvas or pigment on skin is irrelevant as long as there is some deeper thought going into the work being created, as well as some inspiration in which the artist intends for the viewer to hopefully achieve from the piece. A true artist at heart, Justin Sawyer excels in various media, always searching for the...

As glass art enthusiasts we get the picture, it’s not just a pipe. It’s art. For years now we’ve been explaining to our fellow tokers just what collecting glass is all about. From the scientific “chemisty sets” to the organic heady masterpieces, each piece in question is appreciated for it’s nuances.

Can’t decide what sheet’s are going to the dorm this year? pick up a real conversation starter with these new 4 piece bed set’s from Bed Toppings ($265). choose anything from the always classic chocolate bar, sardines (if you’re a badass like me), a pencil box (for those creative arts majors), and flowers (for the ladies).
