I'm a cartoonist and a glassblower. I'll be writing about both, and lucky to be doing both. And, I'll write whatever else seems amazingly important at the time.

Newest Conversation Pieces™ Are Here

Just added these two to my ETSY store.

I’ve been trying to come up with new words to put on these pieces.  And it’s always important to stay positive, especially about our creativity.  So, I thought Create and Dream Big, would be good places to start.

These would look great on your studio wall or in your office.

The New Yorker Cartoon

I’m glad to say I have a cartoon appearing in this week’s issue of The New Yorker, cover date is April 9. This is a cartoon they selected out of the first batch I sent in in the beginning of February. I was published in there yeeeeeeears ago, so it is especially great to be
 back.  I’m submitting every week, so I hope you’ll see me in there more often.

Art Institute of Chicago to Sell My Conversation Pieces™

This is great.  To coincide with their Roy Lichtenstein exhibit in May, the Museum Shop of the Art Institute of Chicago will begin selling my glass word balloons, the Conversation Pieces™. They’ll be the blank word balloons pictured here that you can write, draw, and doodle whatever you like.

So, tomorrow I go into the studio and start making 50 of these. Yeah, That’s a lot. It’ll take a couple of days, for sure.  But I’m psyched.

If you’re in Chicago in May, stop in for the exhibit, of course, but also make sure you see the Museum Shop.

My Dog Knows How To Have A Good Time

My dog, Willie, took advantage of some new snow to show me around the yard.  He took me on a very interesting tour.

Valentine’s Day Earrings Are Here

I’m offering on ETSY, these earrings that I’ve made out of murrini.  I take each individual tile and glue it to a surgical steel post for pierced ears.  You don’t have to worry about anybody else having earrings that look like this because no one does!  Each pair is totally unique. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any time.

New Fused Bowls for the Holidays


These are the latest fused bowls that I’ve made, just in time for Christmas and Hanukkah.  I take rods of glass canes, lay them out in two layers, in contrasting angles, and fuse them together. Then, after cooling, I slump the plate into a shallow mold.  These measure about 5 1/2 inches in diameter, and 1 inch deep.

Check them out on my etsy store.  Click on the photo on the right to get there!
