Raked over the Coals

[Coal]

So.... I changed my artist name, its much more appropriate.
Let the new pic thread begin!

[STROKER]

pics??

[Coal]

I have been blessed and cursed with a rather large influx of custom requests.
Batman is jank, really hard to pull out the horns, i would do it diff next time. It is what it is i guess. Got a ton of scuz on that mug, time to clean the shop, i must have dust everywhere.

[Coal]

some more

[Coal]

custom peace sign, and some prodo bubs

[ALIEN!]

wiener squeezer

[Eric S]

nice cock?

[Rowdy]

That's a choder for sure! Never really seen that done yet, bet it sells well for certain crowds.

[JerryJ]

Love the black and white bub man! My wife said nice cock too!! lol

[Coal]

In case anyone was wondering. I changed my name... so i started this new thread.
I was kairos. Decided to change it after the G.L.A.S.S throwdown.
here is my old pic thread fyi

Nice going on the jazzy pattern in post #3.

[Coal]

Thanks Swampy

I had to make something to take the attention away from my black stallion in post #3. Didnt mean to make yall stare!

Made this for a friend, first time I have ever attempted to do a dbl seal like this, tricky... but got er done!

[Julian]

Nice! yeah, I noticed everyone was all over the cock. Hmm.

You do a way better job at custom orders than I ever could. I'd still be procrastinating if I even got half of those requests.

Really nice design on this last one, reminds me of what I've been seeing on reddit. There's a subreddit about making crazy pipes out of jars and hoses, and you'd blow their mind with glass hoses.

[Blissful Glass]

I see what u mean about color, throw a few clear transition, trust me it will make ur pieces look that much more classy. careful with too many welds remember to relieve the stres

[jac1961]

Like that first black and white one.

[frillcappa]

Nice work bro, seriously, I wish I had half the skill you do. Do you ever use that lathe I saw in your shop pics, is that up and running?

[Coal]

Thanks frill
I have used it a few times, but like I said, too much heat for the small basement area.... dry wood everywhere... I do have 3 fire extinguishers and a water tap right there, but... still sketchy. So thats why i decided its time to build a nice shop.

With a proper lathe station.

[Coal]

Some new stuff ive been playin with

OH SHIT! When does the narwhale bacon, Julian?

[ALIEN!]

bitchin lil dugouts yo!

[$Y$TM]

Nice looking double stuff with some good shaping. I dig the batman pipe, nice execution of shape!

[Julian]

Pretty fancy spoons, Coal! That white one is really nice.


OH SHIT! When does the narwhale bacon, Julian?

Midnight, of course... midnight.

[Coal]

Nice tentacles!

[Hazeey]

Nice stuff, especially the sherly and sculpture.

[drew1492]

Nice work that last piece is awsome. I think I would rather smoke out of that black cock than that cubs piece though. You should just throw that in the scrap pile.

[GlassConnoisseur]

Diggin the droops, lookin good man.

[smolder holder]

Shaping is on point, stuff looks real nice.

[HoneyCombOver]

Hahaha that cock is hillarious. I'm diggin your prodo too man nice work.

[Coal]

Ok here is the creature finished, I could have done more... but i used 26mm china cobalt rod, It was heavy, and took lots of soak time between working it. Just had to make something like this tho.

[Coal]

My first hummingbird feeder. Needed to start making these as its spring and im signed up for several craft fairs..... after research I found that hummingbird enthusiasts prefer this style feeder the the ol' rubber stopper and gravity fed tube.

[Torch-Bug]

narwhal bacon?

Ill try anything once.

Great stuff by the way.

[J proper]

Thats the best bird feeder I've seen

[Julian]

wow, killer hummingbird feeder!

[ALIEN!]

2nd that on the feeder, I tried to make some for a farmers market 3 or 4 years ago and failed miserably, haven't tried again since. I think you've inspired me to have another go at it.

[Coal]

ok, the creature is mounted!

Nice displaying, eye like the creature alot.

[Coal]

Here is pics of a true milestone for me. I did it all by my lonesome exept the end where my bro plugged the bowl and carb so I could work a seal in better.... actually I had a skinny lil mouth piece that broke off the "first" time I was done, so had to make a disk mouthpiece that imo is way better.

Encalmo frit sections, china blue, kiwi blizzard decor.

By the end I was in sheer panic!

[BK]

nice dude, digging the apples and that first spoon in your last post!

[Mecha]

Nice apples!

You have got some pretty unique shaping going on with those spoons too. I like the direction you are going in with them.

[Coal]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Ive been working full time and taking in inspiration from others and making it my own. It sure helps to have my brother living and working with me now.

[B.C. Creations]

damn coal that is a big step up! way to go. keep plugn away.

[Julian]

These all look great! The two layer came out nicely. I like the apples, also the crisp shaping on the stems on all the large pieces.

[T-Rex]

Wow man I'm really impressed. I really dig your work - it strikes a chord with me for sure. Cool shaping, nice colours - you're inspiring me man!!

I especially like your 'milestone' piece, I like how it's 'stepped'

[Hazeey]

Beautiful work man, thanx for the inspiration.

[JPlank]

Hell yeah man, looking good!

[Coal]

My tattoo artist friend (who also sculpts) asked me to make him some clear shirlys he could sculpt around.
This is the first of many I believe. He used Sculpty clay, baked it in the oven, then used paint, whiteout, and some fishing line for the wiskers! Awesome!

http://i.imgur.com/H9Phxl.jpg

[smolder holder]

Those kick ass!!! Super cool colabs

[Coal]

Thanks! Btw I forgot to say its only one rabbit, just diff angles edited together.

[BK]

fucking sick

[Julian]

Wow... he did a fantastic job on the rabbit. Cool piece, quite unique among pipes these days.

[aREa541]

Yeah man thats fuckn rad. Can't wait to see what you guys cook up next on the coals.

[Bo Diddles]

This thread rocks brother, great work all over the place.
For a great apple colour try some Elvis over English ivy or multi... Bang on Mackintosh.

[Coal]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice on apple colors Bo ima give it a try. Im using china striking red, its all over the place with getting livery brown, and a nice red. Its cool b/c apples are natural anyway. I say some other apple that looked like china green w iso fume. Made a real nice green color.

[Hazeey]

Sweet rabbit, pass it on.

[Coal]

Here is another one done by the other artist in the tattoo studio..... im heading down there now to deliver a few more shirlys for them sto sculpt up. Im really exited about colabing with these gents!

[kc-216]

wow that thing is awsome

[Coal]

I took a 2 month sabbatical from glass to enjoy summer, swimming and disk golf daily... and spending time with the fam.

But im back and ready for action! Live action yeyeyeyeyeyey!

This is a colab, Coal x Jah Kno

we did a sketch of our idea, and are proud to say it came out almost exact. Id say we worked (and played) about 30 hours on this..... shuolda taken less time but we had some bumps in dah road.

[Coal]

I new style that come out of the piece pipe idea. I started sketching new ideas before executing them. Gets me drawing again, and gives me a "plan".

http://i.imgur.com/Ialwgl.jpg

And this is what came out of practicing my filachellos. I havnt made many of these..... but want to do more i really love the look when done right. Tho this one isnt so clean.

[Coal]

Thanks man! ive been hard at it.

[Ybot]

from page1 to now the improvement is huge.. im super pumped just looking at all your glass. makes me wanna hit the torch right now.. :) cheers man keep it up.

[Wilbur]

Looking good.

I really like the framed flowers and vines.

are you using a leaf masher.crimp on the petals/leaves?

[Coal]

No, I left my leaf masher up at my friends house awhile back so I was forced to get creative. I flattened a patty, pulled it into that flat tear drop shape, then meticulously heated a small area and grabbed the lip of the petal turning 90*, over and over again. Took awhile but they are the nicest flowers ive made. Its not a functional piece, tho I do have plans to make one with a lil shirlock hidden in it. I wanted to make something that hung on the wall to put up at my local art gallery.
Thanks for looking yall!

[Coal]

I decided to break into my stash of U glass, so far this is what I have made......
