Wow that is shocking news.
Abel was a very kind artist who shared a ton of information with me back in the day. He will surely be missed.

Can't say I knew him, but our prayers and well wishes go out to his family and friends affected by his loss. Is there anyway for us that cannot attend the benefit to help? We'd be willing to send a piece for a raffle or whatever to help.
PM me if there is anything we can do.

if you guys are serious about donating a piece for raffle that would be great....im looking into the logistics of being able to do that at the club...im thinking we could sell tix and do the raffle at the club and they could pick up the piece from humboldt glass blowers if the club wont let us bring it in....but i see no reason why they wouldnt.....i will private message you guys soon...this will really help...like i said hes got a kid and his lady is pregnant with another so they need all the help they can get

car accidents are such bullshit tragedys. its easy to forget its the most dangerous thing most of us do day to day. at least he left a beautiful legacy. everyone who has a Vincente better keep it burning and be careful wid it!
