Hey Gremlin,
Nice marble! I'm wondering...

Peace,
Ash and Mia

:twitch:
very well done.. that's a pimpin flying saucer in there =) the starship enterprise is next?
good to hear from you again!
z--seth
nice work! is that done with a stump sucker?
that a trippy spaceship dude!
did you ever make grimlets anymore? im a big fan of the ones youve posted on the gp
Thanks for your comments Ash, Jokerdesign, Lorax, Crip, Seth and Mermonkey and Onion.
Mermonkey, I do not use a stump sucker for these. I use a technique called vailing and also emplosions. Onion, I'm working on making those grimlet pieces even smaller so now they are more like a 10 section pendant. LOL A quick story JFTR:
When I first started lampworking I read an article about a glass artist named Bob Snodgrass This guy writing the article, went out to Snodgrass's studio and wrote most of his article on watching Snodgrass make this pendant/marble with Ufo's, Planets, Stars, and Aliens. This thing was small too like pendant size. That glass and the way he talked about his experience with Snodgrass in that article stuck with me. I have always been into the "space" theme so that really set the ball in motion. I have been making "space theme" marbles ever since.
Feel free to post links to other space scene marbles on this post. We can make it a spacesceneorama. Peace.
Gremlin
wow i would love very much to aquire a grimlet for my personal collection, through what venue would they be available? i know on your gallery it says you dont sell through the internet
"Thanks for your comments Ash, Jokerdesign, Lorax, Crip, Seth and Mermonkey and Onion."
EDITED
"Feel free to post links to other space scene marbles on this post. We can make it a spacesceneorama."
We can do that. There are plenty of "space theme" [sic] marbles that don't copy, exactly (minus a spaceship), works that an artist devoted thousands of hours to develop and make his own extremely unique style.

You bit like a tiger shark, and you have the fucking gall to act like this was a whim of the universe... pun slightly intended.
"I use a technique called vailing and also emplosions."
It's called 'fuming', and it's implosions, not emplosions. Nice attention to detail.
The fact that you are trying to claim that you came up with this design that one person devoted so many years to is downright despicable.
To all that don't know how many times Gateson's work has been outright copied, this should be a lesson. No one will ever give a damn about your 'work' or your 'art' if you outright copy or pretend that 'technique' is art. This isn't a technique. This is a man's hard work, combined with a great vision. And this EDIT copied it outright. If you can't see it through the pictures, you are doomed to making sub-par crap. Stand back, take a look, and see it's a rip off.
Chris
whooooaaa you two should have sex
i can feel the love
at least make out
wow.....
im sorry i have to disagree with ya chris every artist is going to be influenced by other artits and try to do things that even might be similar and once again it should be more flattering than anything. if people didnt try other things then the art would never progress we would be sitting here with the same techniques they have used for 1000 years. so its good that someone else tried it who knows they might even figure out a new technique with it and hopefully they might be kind enough to share it with everyone else. no point in being a glass snob. oh and i know gateson and those guys have made them first but ik sure they werent the first to think about it and im sure not the last. should everyone not make ocean scenes cause milon already does. or what about graal vessels i mean i bet plane or mickelson would be pissed if we did that. haha yeah right. hopefully we can all realize that everything we r doing was based off of other techniques at one point and time. now if gateson taught him and he was doing the same thing and undercutting that would be a problem but if he is self taught and usd his own brain power more power to him. if its such a big deal u and him have a contest with space marbs then u might feel a lil diff about it. just my opinion.

Glasskitchen,wow, insults to everyone.Try looking at some of Gremlin's other work.He's never claimed to have originated this style or techique.He has given Gateson props in person and showed him one of his(Gremlin's) marbles.I've never known him to use the term "Universe Marbles"when referring to his own work,except when giving props to Gateson.Can you honestly say that you are completely blameless when it comes to "biting "someone elses style.Artists,Musicians,Scientists all build on work that has come before them ,that's how our art progresses.
Here's another marble by Gremlin,and a space scene from Eugene Rain:
I explain it all at the bottom of THIS THREAD (ah CLICK HERE)
sorry to break it to you. but work is copied wether knowing it or not all the time.Quote:

Are you trying to say that you invented implosion marbles? How long have you been workin with glass? For what it's worth, I don't feel like there's anything wrong with using other peopels techniques because everyone has done this with glass ever since the first person who put fire to glass got copied by someone else who thought that puting fire to glass was a good idea. We all use techniques every day that we didn't come up with, weather it be shocking glass with water, scribing glass, or whatever, and I feel that the free distribution of techniques helps the glass culture develope faster. I do however think there's something wrong with sayin that you invented tequniques if you didn't......... Either way though, nice marble.
where did all these claims that he invented techs come from?! im pretty sure he hasnt said once in this thread or linked material that he invented anything.
maybe you should pick one up. it's a post modern age brother. i would think that you would recognize considering the level of appropriation in your work.Quote:

oh ya, the Emplosion tech is fuckin great, im gonna do one now and copy you :tongue2: :D
dam chris,
you are comin off like a Glass hole.......I liked Gremlims piece. a nice spin on the Gatson theme......I do agree that he needs to give props to the innovater.....Gatson showed the world how to make his marbles at the first flame off..in 03...it is all about evolution ..
I would love to se a gremlit incased in to one of those space marbs
Thanks,
The EMPLOSION is what I came up with (see bottom of name that tenique). It's mine stay of of it.
Here's one like the one in the Bob Snodgrass article. Bob Snodgrass marble with aliens and space scene and This Triple Alien Snoddy
Here's one of Bob Badtram's marbles. Bob Badtram marble with the earth and space.
Here are a few I had with me at the 2003 A.G.I. When I met Gateson and gave him mad props in person. http://pbase.com/bkbowden/gremlin
Good idea about the gremlit, Ratty dog...
I'd really like to see a gremlet Encased too. Incasements are a cool tech, but I've found the results of an Encasement can be really quite 'spacy' as well. Hmm, Who or What was it that envented Space anyway? I've heard a few stories, but I'm not sure which one is really correct. When was that tech Envented? Life can seem so complex sometimes... luckly, I can Encalmo;)
It seems to me that many sentient beings in the universe would make an art replica of the environment around them. Go figure! Anyway, once again nice work Gremlin... nice to see your work Ivolve.
Etes to the midetateons!
What exactly is a gremlit I searched here but didnt find nothin
Wow...All i can say to that is that getting a rep for being a dick is bad for business,you should keep your mouth shut.I mean your work is great,you have shit on display at corning,and im sure people look up to you,why ruin it by being a douche bag.Say your sorry.
Gremlin i like the marble,and my advice to you is to copy everything this guy does,and strive to be better then him,because you are.
thats crazy gremlin freakin awesome. i like the "emplosion" name everyone thinks its just spelled wrong funny stuff.
i dont see where he said he invented anything,that sucks that you post your stuff and get props then a couple of haters come along and put words in your mouth,no glass blowers i know would come off like that,period.
Good to see ya back again Gremlin. You always had those skills. Because its a marble does that make it so thats its not available to simulate?
Maybe all the spoon makers should quite making them look like other peoples spoons.
Serioulsy, Gateson don't post his probably because he doesn't want them copied, and I mean exactly, which is next to impossible to do anyway. I think he feels funny when it comes to that, and I know hes spent a lot of time in research and technique to do his style, so his work is more one of a kind than other types of glass pieces in the same catagory.
Gremlins put in his time, and I've even tried space themed marbles/pendants, their undoubtedly unique each and every one of them.
I seriously doubt knowing him, his plan was to copy gateson from the time he lit the torch to make one.
Its a free world brother.
steve
Exactly!
Is that you or are you tigersharking someone elses image?
yo, if anyone makes something out of glass then they're biting me...........and I'll kick they're ass!!!!!!!!!!!!
