Little late today. Understandable, since I released two videos over the last two days, and one of them I kinda had to cram into the last minute. Because self-imposed deadlines. Anyway, here is today’s drawing and speedy video.

Just figured out why I’m seeing a lot of Bruce St. John Maher pieces on eBay. Turns out he died about a year ago. He was 70, so not terrible innings, but living forever would have been better.
Maher was a pioneer in glass making, inventing the kiln techniques he used to create his work. He was also a gay rights activist in the SF Bay area.
If you search for him now on eBay, you’ll find a bunch of very under-priced necklaces. They even have a bit of stained glass! Tiger-Tiger also has a bunch of pieces, at more usual prices. I am glad to have the two pieces pictured here. I don’t think I’ll buy any more, as I would just be collecting it, and his work deserves to be seen by the masses.
