Heady glass art! My friends help me keep going!! Big ups for throwing down with me @cosmic.impact.llc

First hashookah and functional piece out of the home studio:) A fun tweak on my classic Hashookah design, 6 seal to the spiky base is really appealing to me! I’m hyped with how it came out! I ended up driving the piece out to the collector one state over in Indiana. It was awesome getting to meet and get a lil sesh in. Thank you so much for the scoop @flawlesschazzobg it was great meeting you! I will always prefer hand delivering glass if it’s possible. It’s a great chance to chat up stories and get to know the individuals who like my glass art:) I also wanna thank everyone who has believed in me by supporting my art over the years. I’m eternally grateful, I wouldn’t be where I am now without you all!!!! #dmopglass #hashookah #headyglass #30

Fun custom I did for my dude @dr30dave . This piece is inspired by the late great @contrabasso . I’m happy to say our paths crossed at a Banjo class out in Eugene Oregon in 2018. I was pretty star struck when I met Eli, but he shared some kind words to me about staying motivated and pushing myself in new directions. You could tell how excited he was about glass art, and that energy charged me up! I tend to draw my inspirations from my favorite artists and put my own tweak on things to keep them original. When working on this project, I couldn’t help but admire Eli’s mind in creating such a unique design and especially the neck/mouthpiece. After completing it I was pleased with the function, and the beauty of it is creating this piece gave me a couple new, different ideas for new projects I am currently working on. Idk I guess I’m trying to say that it can be scary as an artist to use someone else’s ideas, but I think it’s okay if you draw inspiration, add a tweak or two, and have good intentions to grow and learn from the experience. Often times in doing so you will find a new idea you never would have thought of had you not explored with the existing idea. Anyway, thanks for the good vibes everyone. I really appreciate the energy. 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥#art #glassart #headyglass

This is a tough post for me to make, albeit overdue. This is about my shop @spectrumglassstudio . This is going to be long, so if you read all of this, thank you! Where to begin..I went to school for scientific glassblowing in New Jersey 2015, during that time I was exposed to the Philly glass scene. The Philly scene is super tight. Tons of shops basically right next door to one another. I had a dream of finishing school, moving back home, and building something similar. I moved to New Jersey to learn glass, because back in 2015 i couldnt find anyone to teach me glass pipes in my home town of Columbus Ohio. I suppose my goal in opening a shop was centered around creating a community, and spreading the knowledge and culture of glass pipes in Columbus When I moved back home, I moved into by buddies @tedrowglass and @willstarglass studio. I worked there for close to a year before the pieces of my life arranged and I felt it time to open my dream studio. That was back in April 2019, @spectrumglassstudio was born, with a slogan #awaveofculture. It was a trip, seeing the shop come together. Countless hands helped out to make a creative space for pipemakers to coexist. Even better a few of my friends I had met in new Jersey at Salem actually moved to Ohio to come blow glass in my studio. What a wild, happy, exciting time that was. Covid hit, and the pipe scene still seemed to flourish. The shop was super fun and over the years countless heads blew glass there. Some for just a few months, some for a few years, some for many years. Local shops had shows there, as well as brought in artists from different states to throw down. Friends I met over the years traveling came by to hang and make glass. In 2023 I went through a breakup that shattered me. I wish I had been stronger then, but I wasn’t. My mental health plummeted. Being the captain of a ship and having your mental health hit rock bottom doesn’t really go well together. It took over a year for me to bounce back from that. I apologize to everyone who was around me then. I wasn’t myself and I wasn’t fun to be around. (Continued in comments)

Kingbong Hashookah! Collaboration with my buddy @skilletglass from earlier this year, made for his show at @high_intentions_ak . Figuring out how to mount Zac’s large sculpted gorilla onto one of my pieces, while also considering function for 3 individuals, made for a uniquely fun and challenging build. It felt great to pull it off!:) Kingbong came with all the hashookah accessories needed to give it supreme versatility for any sesh, including 3 middle shaped mouthpieces:) This one sold to @yea_imtheconnoisseur . Thanks for the scoop man! #24 #glassart #hashookah #dmopglass

Here’s a few progress shots from the wojo world demo Hashookah, as well as the finished piece! Super grateful for my boys @willstarglass and @ym_smoke for the help getting this one together. Those two cats have been such a driving force in my personal, and glass life🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 The flameworking demonstration was really something else. We had a finished Hashookah at the demo table modeled just like the one we were working on, red instead of blue. It made it really easy when people asked what we were making; and even better we got to get seshy out of it with folks as they watched us manifest the blue one!:) I love how simple and elegant the clear hashookahs look, with wojo Millie’s to accent them!:) @wojoco.official thanks for all the support and believing in me🙏🏻 Can’t wait for next years wojo world! Thanks for the love everyone! #hashookah #awaveofculture #glassart #dmopglass #2627

The line at wojo world to experience the hashookahs was wilddd. Serving 6 peeps at a time between two hashookahs, the line was still pretty massive! @wojowax sure knows how to host a rager! Wojo’s newest balled out hashookah features custom dicro tubing I made as well as a new clustered up wojo Millie! I love how all the colors pop in this piece:) I’m super grateful to the whole wojo crew for supporting my teams creative vision🔥🔥🙏🏻 Sharing is caring!! Thanks for the good energy!:) Working on some super cool collabs with my friends over the next month! Can’t wait to show yall!:) #dmopglass #awaveofculture #28

Some footage of the homies and I during assembly of a heater hashookah for @wojoco.official ! I’m grateful to be able to make heady art for such a dedicated and passionate team of individuals. Wojo holds it down for the metric scene in Michigan. It’s not just their extensive flavor list, or multiple different products they make, but everyone at the wojo hive is genuinely stoked to be there, and that energy reflects positively into everything they do; it’s really cool to be apart of what they are building. This piece wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my og @willstarglass . Special thanks to @addisonhannaglass for staying super late into the early morning to help get this assembled! Another special thanks to @millemalachi for creating the wojo bee Millie:) I didn’t get a ton of shots of the finished piece before I delivered it up north, but I’ll do up another post shortly that shows off some of the juicy details!:) My favorite part about making hashookahs is that they are made by me and my friends, to be enjoyed by you and your friends!:) Thanks a ton for all the positive energy! I’m just hyped to be here ♾️❤️ #dmopglass #hashookah #glassart #art #awaveofculture #happy

Blowing glass @secretdreamsfest next month:) Ive never blown glass at a festival, and im so grateful and excited for the opportunity to throw down alongside some of my friends and other glass artists I’ve looked up to over the years. Im hyped to share my glass art with a whole festival of people, meet new friends, and vibe out for a few days! #hashookahing #dmopglass #happy #secretdreamsfest

My last glass art piece of 2024 Hashookah #22, a collab with my studio mate @j.zef_glass custom for @dillydabthorton Jozef moved into my studio a little over a year ago. He is the soft spoken type, yet absolutely hilarious and a big crusher! I believe his eagerness to learn new techniques and his openness to network and meet new people will carry him far. It’s been wonderful watching him grow 🌱:) We had a great time making this piece; a couple 24 hour studio days, lots of Mario kart breaks, good food n snack times.. we big chilled and made a heady.. it really doesn’t get much better:) I enjoy making glass that looks like it’s from another planet, I think because I’m always daydreaming. My mind goes in all sorts of directions, and I like turning that energy into something real. I want my work to feel like it’s not just something you’d find here, like it could belong somewhere else entirely; a different planet, or from the future. There’s something freeing about creating without rules, just experimenting with shapes and ideas that feel fresh and different. These pieces function in a way that is different from the norm. They are centerpieces, meant to be shared with friends and family, old and new. I feel the aesthetic, design, and function of my hashookahs have a unique symbiosis. Exploring new design elements with this one presented fun challenges; I’m excited to see these pieces continue to evolve! it fills my heart with joy to bring something new to the world:) This piece features a @mr.noodles517 adornment under the joint, as well as the plugs for the piece:) Big shout out to @willstarglass and @blotterglass for assistance prepping and getting this thing together!:) I love how hashookahs bring people together, whether it’s me and my friends making them, or you and your friends seshing them!:) that’s what it’s all about 🚀🚀🚀❤️❤️❤️ I’m grateful for all the positive energy, big thank you to everyone who supports me, 2025 is gonna be LIT 🔥 #hashookah #hashookahing #22 #hashookahking #heady #glassart #ion #cobalt #heatforthestreets #happy #love #dmopglass #awaveofculture #spectrumglassstudio
