Some really cool glass you guys might like!

Hey guys, I've been on here for a little while now, but I don't post too much. I just thought you guys might enjoy these! I'm am a lampworker/glassblower, and these are made by another artist, who happens to be one of my favorite lampworkers! I couldn't figure out a way to link the images themselves from his site, but here's links to the pages some of his stuff is on! He makes a lot of other really cool stuff too like vases, perfume bottles, sculptural work, etc! All of these are done by hand on a torch specifically made for melting glass!

Edit: not sure why the type-99 labeled as an ar-15 in the link, but it is a different link.

AR-15
M249 SAW
AR-15
AK-47
Heckler-Koch MP5K
Thomsons Sub-Machine Gun
MAC-10
Handguns

Wow, those are really cool.

 

[actaeon277]

Awesome. The link says they were all sold. Any idea what the selling price was?
I ask, knowing it's too much for me.

 

[Mikeshep1462]

Not sure on all of them, but i know the AR-15 was the first one that he did, and the gallery he displayed it at was not comfortable displaying it (stupid liberal art gallery in NYC i think). He then offered it to the glass community discounted at $9,000!

Wow! That's pricey! I'd be scared to keep them in anything less than a stout cabinet even if they weren't expensive, just because they're so cool!

The Thompson was awesome.

 

[Mikeshep1462]

Yeah, I love that the Thompson comes apart!

Thought it was just me.... several of them appear to have 'bowls' incorporated into them. Awesome artwork regardless.

I agree that is some awesome work id be afraid to break it.

Very cool. A couple years ago I got to go see a display of many works by Chihuly. I really wasn't that interested in going(in-law field trip while visiting in MI), but I was amazed! It was very fascinating.

Just found these on the net. Searched here to see if anyone had mentioned them previously, and so... bump it is!
His work is too cool!
