About Gary

So, my husband is just such a darned unique person.  First off, he's an artist.  I noticed that the first time I went to his apartment before we married.  He'd taped off the walls and painted designs on it.  And he had canvases scattered here and there.  But when we'd gotten to know one another with long, long conversations previous to me seeing his place, he never mentioned that part of himself.  In looking back, I think that's sort of odd.  Unless it was such an ingrained part of his personality, that he didn't even think of it.

Anyway, fast-forward about 30 years and he's creating these wood vapors (for the nicotine and none of the harm).  He finished up the one pictured yesterday afternoon, posted it online, and kerPOW, it sold last night.    These recovering smokers are such suckers (forgive the pun) for these things.  Lots of folks are building them, but except for one guy who makes pipes for non-smokers, Gary seems to be one of the few, of not only, ones who are making actual sculptures.

Back to the art.  Those who are creative have to create.  'Nuf said.
