SMOKED! Voume 1.
Well, its official! The FIRST EVER OFFICIAL BOOK about glass pipe art is about to drop this December! Smoked! Vol. 1 is being put out by Grit City Inc, two good friends of mine in Philadelphia: notorious glass artist JAG and graphic design professional Brian Jacobson. I just got back from checking out the test pressings of the book, and i must say i was totally blown away. 30 glass pipe artists each made pieces specifically for this publication, the work has not been published anywhere else, including the internet. Included with each artist's work is a bio, artist statement, and short interview with the artist. My eyes lit up while i perused all 160 pages, there are over 100 professional photographs, and the layout is very classy, it was hard not to sit and read it cover to cover right on the spot. The front of the book includes a background about the project and the people involved, as well as a personal Introduction written by M. Slinger.
This book is about to change the face of glass pipe art collecting and culture. Never before has such a publication documenting a cross section of this subculture existed. Glass pipe-making is very similar to other subcultures like graffiti art, skateboarding, and tattoo art. It is photographs, books, and films of those cultures mentioned that has made them worldwide phenomenoms. The time has come for glass pipe art to come out from the shadows and get the exposure it deserves, and im happy to report that Smoked Vol1 does the scene justice. One day we will look back at this time as the beginning of something bigger, and this book is one of the documents that will be used to inform people about the history of this movement.
All of the pieces will be on display at a special book release exhibition at the Illadelph Gallery in Los Angeles on December 5, 2008. Smoked Vol.1 is being printed in a Limited 2500 copy run, each book will be hand numbered #/2500. You can order your copy now @www.smokedvolume1.com. There is no guarantee that a second edition of this book will be printed, so if you're a serious aficionado, you're gonna want to get on this. Your support for the project will enable a Smoked Volume 2 to be created, and helps all glass pipe artists to be recognized, and have a voice.
To order your copy today, and for more info including the list of artists involved, please check out www.smokedvolume1.com
