What can I say about this bunch? Well, Steve Gelb is quickly becoming one of my favorite glassblowers. Being a subscriber to less is more and a lover of organic forms, this new bunch from Gelb really does it for me. I love the discs within discs on the mouth piece of the bubbler and on one of the dry pipes. Others have subtle wig-wags stacked between solid colors, all have horns and some have stamp work as well. I couldn't resist the Bearclaw signature slide either. I mean it's unmistakably his! I had someone in mind as well... The top "dawg" of the lot is the Law Dawg and Herb collab glass peace pipe. It looks fierce and it's flawless. It function's like a steamroller, has a rainbow and ice theme is complete with sig marbles from both artists. The sick ice and white horned bubbler comes from Justin in Utah. Fans of glass basket weave should keep and eye on Herb. This last piece we picked up is a beautiful example of the technique. Herb's basket weave looks like it's really woven. He has profound understanding of what it should look like. 

We arrived in Vegas a day early so we could get first dibs on some sick shit for our customers. People were still setting up and settling in. We made some calls to make sure it was OK and headed over to *****. It seriously was the best day for us. We got to hang out with our industry friends, eat some homemade edibles and drink some home brewed double bock. Best of all, we got to preview a lot of the work that'd be for sale in the upcoming shows. When I say preview, I mean Kulture was writing orders and cherry picking heady glass for our shops and our customers' enjoyment. Some of my favorite early pickups are the ones we got from Lostinglass. The old timer, glass corn cob pipes are sure to be a hit. The onies we picked up have multiple sections and rival any other heady chills we've gotten before. Actually they blow them away IMO! Last but not least is a Rasta themed bubbler. It has two disc sections. One on the bottom and another on the mouthpiece. The can has two stacked bowtie sections and the neck is a twist of red, gold and green cane.
