420 weekend, Let it Snow.

April has been a Roller Coaster of a Month, with Highs and Lows, Sun and Snow. But that’s Colorado for You. PUFF, Puff, pass.
Arriving back from a recent road trip, I needed to get my studio presentable for First Friday Artwalk in Denver. It’s more of a working studio than a gallery space. I have some shelf space above my glazes,lol. I decide on displaying some old whimsical teapots, not really functional but uniquely odd. I thought it might entertain my like minded friends.

Band of Lynards

For the month of April ONLY. I have Marijuana leaf impressions on tiles. They’re hand made by me and priced to sell. I wanted to provide people with something for the 420 weekend. However, It may come as a disappointment or a shock, but I don’t sell my BFP’s at my studio or display them there. but yes, I make them there. This is a nice, established gallery that I have been fortunate to be able to work at. The Address is 747 Santa Fe Dr. Denver, Colorado. They are open minded Artist, but this is there livelihood, so please be respectful.

I started filling orders for local stores. If you know of a store that should have BFP’s Let me know. I’ll contact them. So, I usually pick a few stores to display my artwork in. What I mean is, I created have a character named Lynard. LYNARD stands for Legalize, Yourself, National, Awareness, Research & Development. He’s an Easy going guy, who likes to smoke weed. So, Lynards are People who enjoy smoking weed. Lynard is a spoon pipe that has arms. I started making 18 inch ceramic Lynards in 2008 which lead to BFP’s.

Feel free to ask them to get a pic of him. If you have a pic, share it with me. I’d love to see it. Same goes for BFP’s, If you have a pic of you with a BFP, share it with us. We’d love to see them.

I tried to find some pipes to give to his entourage. I keep a bunch of smaller pipes on hand. While doing this, I pushed a box of BFP’s off my tailgate!! Holy Shit, that’s not good. The breaking of the BFP’s echoed in my ear. “It’s ok, I know the guy who makes them,” as I picked up the pieces, tossing them into a box and kicking it under the tail gate. I wasn’t going to let that upset my day. Then there was some confusing as to whether I broke the one he chose, after he already signed one for me. I broke all the marijuana leaf BFP’s except his and my signed one. What a fucking relief. Everybody at the truck got a pipe and dispersed. As I packed the rest of the pipes away, Trog returns with both hands full of individually packed white chocolate treats.

I responded with a surprised and grateful “Thank you,” and he returned to his Show. I sat there in the parking lot, satisfied with myself and smoked a bowl as I scrolled through my recent photos.
