Do you buy glass for the person, or the glass?

lol epic thread revival how did you even dig this one up?

I haven't bought a piece in so long, I don't know what its like. That being said tho I don't like stuck-up people. We all shit sitting down. And we all wake up with bad breath, but if your art is nice I'll still respect your art. If not ? Get some personality and get humble.

ya, fuck all those haughty people

what about people who buy for the color? i was talking to someone about a piece they had and they said it has slyme and showed me a picture, i was like, pretty sure that aint slyme, and after some research they found out its just some light green, and now they want to sell it, lol.

Necro thread mesmerizes you into answering! -10 willpower points!

I chose C) Depends.

If I want to own a piece by a particular artist, I'll grab what I can afford, provided I like it at least a little bit. By the same token, if I like something, I will buy it with no regard for who the artist is - if I can afford it.

I buy glass to impress Misha. That's all.

I used to by glass by function, if it seem like it will rip hard then I will probably buy it, colors are just decorative. Functionality is key.

I buy glass to melt it most of the time.

Seriously though it's absolutely for the person first, next by the work itself. I'd love to have something made by each of the fabulous folks I have met, but of course it's better if it's a neato piece.

That's a great point. Love of the medium is common ground for all glass artists.

i buy glass to trade for crack. shit this thread is like almost as old as my kid.

.....other than that i dont even care if the shit functions, chances of me using something i would purchase are pretty slim, as i wouldnt purchase anything id want to use regularly. i have enough of my own crap for that. name, work, all the other crap. all of that comes after the crack, of course.

and now back to your regularly scheduled 2012
