January 4, 200917 yr Hello everyone, Just finished up a table for a client in NYC. I agonized over a lot of the design elements and in doing so generated several unused parts that will work great for my next project: a display stuff for a clients gallery/show booth. Good thing, all the work has to be done by mid February in order to ship to Europe for a show he's doing in March! Happy New Year fellow smiths! John
January 5, 200917 yr John, thank you very much for sharing. Beautiful work. on a sad note, you show me just how inconsistant I am and something to work towards. thanks again paul
January 5, 200917 yr That's pretty spectacular John. A little creepy but spectacular none the less. Frosty
January 6, 200917 yr I haven't seen work like that in years. Well at least since Albert Paley shifted gears and quit making jewelry. That is some mighty fine work. Show us some more of what you got.:D
January 6, 200917 yr Author Wow, thanks Bentiron! That's a huge compliment. I posted a few other things a while back here:http://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/f63/some-my-stuff-8880/ Thanks again.
January 6, 200917 yr Yessir that is some fine examples of a true artist blacksmith at work. I bow to you sir!
January 7, 200917 yr tzonoqua, you nailed it on the head - Geiger-esque something you world see in an Aliens movie. Very cool
January 9, 200917 yr Being in NYC I imagine you could make appointments with childproofing consultants and have some fun with that table.
January 9, 200917 yr Very nice, very precise, very masculine, almost Gieger-esque. Good Morning All Who or what is this Gieger? -tks grant
January 10, 200917 yr Author HR Giger, (pronounced Geeger) Swiss surrealist and creator of the Alien creature from the movie series. He's definitely a huge influence, though I think a lot of the similarities in our work come from our mutual love/obsession with all things Art Nouveau.
January 10, 200917 yr Author Sure! Be sure to check out his stuff! It's pretty creepy by most people's standards but his sense of line is truly awe-inspiring. He actually started his artistic career doing architectural design, including iron railings and such.
January 11, 200917 yr Well, I was just about to post pictures of the table I finished up and ouch... you owned me. ill have them up later but geeeezzz, Way to go!
February 26, 200917 yr Beautiful stuff! I am truly inspired. One of the things I like about Giger's work (and yours) is the detail and the incredible amount of interesting things to see. I'm struggling with language here, but what I mean is that you could look at your work a hundred times and still be finding new things to appreciate. I love that, and marvel at the incredible amount of time, thought, and work that must have gone into these. Thanks for sharing them! Ed
March 3, 200917 yr Beautifull work! Can i ask how much time did you spent on making the table and what`s the price for this unique work? You dont have to answer if you don`t feel confortable but i was just curiouse Wonderfull work again...
March 4, 200917 yr HOLY MACROLE! I had to do a double take because I thought your pics were just renderings, and not actual work! Amazing!
March 8, 200917 yr Your vision is amazing. Do you know the result before you start or is it a "progress" kind of thing.
