    I spent a week in Kansas in my first month working full time, I was fortunate enough to be able to observe some great artist at work and pick up a few tips. I work in a shop with firekist and bigles so cleanliness in work has always been the norm. I learn from everyone I work with pretty much.

    I got to make some slides and domes for one of my favorite stores, wish I had time to take more and better pictures. It was my first time making my own joints, and Im pretty pleased with the results thanks for all the compliments!

    Ha! I think he tried to show me once but I wasn't having it at the time. surprisingly he can wig up some pretty nice rballs, but he has mostly shown me how to put too many horns on things and how many beers it takes to make a headpiece.
