[pstvn]

thanks for sharing this work kobuki. its absolutely...whatever. thank you.

[Din]

Absolutely stunning work John! The orange in those roses just glows, and the outlining is mind blowingly clean.
I've been a huge fan for a long time man, always love to see your stuff! Always a privilege to see it.

[VED]

wow those r incredible

[Scotty]

I mean





That's my jaw hitting the space bar on my key board!................. i'm speechless

[cleocool]

wow i just came alot in my feeted pajamas. NICEEEEEE!!

[CripSkillz]

Yup^^^ everuything xcept what cleo did...

[The Lorax]

then make prodo till your arms fall off.

[Pilgrim]

I sure the classes are worth the amount being charged. its just a lot of money in the failing economy for the average artist that doesn't have an extra income.

[EarthTones]

WOW! Those are the coolest marbles I've seen,since the last ones you posted,amazing work.

[Abe Fleishman]

John these marbles are sick. Keep up the sick marbles. Hope to talk soon.
Abe

[stillaborofreak]

Ftw

[Johan]

Those are magnificant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!definitely some of the best mibs I've ever seen.

[hwcglass]

I would like to take the class at the Eugene glass school but $550.00 plus registration is to steep for me. I'm not one of the lucky one's that grow Weed in the Garage or attic to sponsor such activities.... or flip sacks and such.... DAMN I would really like to take the class too:bummed: I am in AWE of your skill......


rrrrrrrrrrriiiight . . . . .

[Pilgrim]

rrrrrrrrrrriiiight . . . . .

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HWGLASS?

[nafglass]

Wow John. The second skull colab is so nice! I wish you two could have done that when he stopped by EGS that day! I hope to see more colabs in the future!

[kobuki]

Thanks again for the compliments.
Pilgrim, you are right. $550 is a lot of money. But, I can assure you that what I teach is source material not some copy cat information borrowed from someone else.

hwcglass- is that you happy Harold. PM me.

Dan- I hope to make many more collabs with Bob. He's the best!

thanks,

JK

Here's some jelly fish. The 3rd page is a little boring without something to look at.

[Ben Burton Glass]

Nice work John!!! THese are all great Jellys!!I'll have to get one for my collection someday ;-) Take it easy John!

Aloha!

[mer]

beautiful work john. i think $550 seems like a lot of money to any of us but it's really not exorbitant when you consider the value of the lesson. you're sharing the means to make a product that is in relatively high demand. an astute student should be able to make that money back pretty quickly using the skills you're offering.

mad respect for sharing john, i don't think any artist has influenced the marble market more than you since the guy who pushed the first mushroom.

[naughty pirate wench]

LOVE the jellies, John.

I have to tell you - I met and talked with Bob Snodgrass the other night in Seattle - I told him I'd seen the pieces you two had collaborated on (posted here), and he said so MANY nice things about you. :D I can't wait to see what the two of you cook up next!

way to go,
c

$550 isn't bad at all. and john made the first mushroom???? damn, straight OG. great stuff on page 3 also!

[mer]

nonono, i was saying john's stuff was the most influential *since* the guy who started the mushy thing, the two most replicated techniques that i know of in the marble scene since i've been in the game. maybe throw the vortex marbles on the list.

the flowers were everywhere overnight and as far i know that's to johns credit. they were the first i saw and they're still unparalleled.

[filthy god brother]

Kobuki, the man of the flower. I believe your are known as being "down wit da sickness". If you got all the guys in awe what do girls do? Throw panties at you?

[The Lorax]

oh alright i gotcha mer. the flower tech is way more badass obv. hahaha.

great morning laugh from that one also filthy god bro. lol.

[kobuki]

If you got all the guys in awe what do girls do? Throw panties at you?

If only. Then I would have something else to sell on Ebay.

thanks,

JK
