In a playful homage to an iconic snack, this tube rig by Rude Boy is a delightful expression of pop culture through the medium of glass. The sculptural form takes cues from Chester Cheetah, manifested in the vibrant orange body speckled with black cheetah spots, lending it a whimsical yet fierce aesthetic. Adorning the piece, Chester’s face is brought to life with meticulous detail, complete with reflective dichroic sunglasses that add a touch of coolness and depth. A prominent opal, set at the front, serves as a captivating focal point, drawing the eye with its iridescent play of light. Black accents along the bowl and tube punctuate the design, framing the playful motif with a sleek finish. This rig is not just a functional object but a statement piece, showcasing Rude Boy’s ability to infuse his work with personality and flair.

The “Dual Architect” recycler by Mitch Petersen stands as a testament to the complexity and beauty of modern glassblowing. Its structure is a vivid dance of form and color, featuring a dichotomy of gold and silver fume that cascades through the piece, contrasted with delicate ‘deja blue’ stringers. The artist employs a fume grid technique, capturing the ethereal quality of light as it refracts through the metallic fume, creating a spectrum of subtle rainbow waves. The dual chambers offer functionality beyond mere aesthetics, contributing to a unique movement of air and smoke. The transparent and reflective qualities are balanced by the opaque fume, offering a visual representation of the fluidity and dynamism inherent in both the medium and the craftsmanship.
