It was 30 years ago when my relationship with cannabis began. Growing up in the south it began with blunts, homemade pipes and gravity bongs, but soon moved to the medium of glass upon scoring my first bag of “kind” bud at the WHEE 3 (World Hemp Expo Extravaganza) Festival in 1997.

Armed with my first glass pipe and $120 quarters of NL #5 and G13, I was thrilled to simply load a bowl without the efforts of stems & seed removal, and to savor the flavors while watching the pipe change colors as I got lifted. It was during this time that I learned the art of the hustle, and while I never considered myself a collector of glass, I always jumped at the opportunity to upgrade my gear at various lot scenes around the country.

Fast-forward 20 years and I meet the man, the myth, and legend of Greg Escalante, and acquire my first Rick Griffin original. Greg was a beautiful beast of a man and quickly became a dear friend and mentor to me. He was a pioneer and innovator in the world of art, and was someone you pay attention to always, but especially when he was excited and had his next new great idea. Thus, in 2016 when he called me and told me to hop a flight to the opening of “Sacramental Vessels“ by @banjoglass , I did exactly that. To my knowledge, this was the first time that glass art was shown in the fine art arena and the paradigm began to shift.

In the nearly decade since the glass world has exploded, Banjo has become a very dear friend of mine. We have worked together a number of times over the years including showing his work in my gallery exhibitions at Art Basel and our first gallery in Nevada City, CA. We also worked on a collaborative project to fabricate a bronze sculpture of one of his most iconic pieces.

In honor of Greg Escalante and with great excitement, we are thrilled to announce Banjo’s 25 year retrospective exhibition opening 3 months from today!

We are pulling out all the stops for this one and there will be tons more to announce, but mark your calendars now because you’re not gonna want to miss this one!!!

I had a blast talking to the Amazing @_oystergirl_ with my dear friend Mark McCloud for this story!

Lots of things were discussed in regard to L and its influence on Art: Past, Present and Future, as well as some differences between Visionary and Psychedelic Art. 🧪

The Grateful Dead have long been one of my favorite bands and their album covers have always been second to none in my opinion. Their second studio album “Anthem of the Sun” has always been one of my favorites and I’ve been dying to see the original art in the flesh since first discovering it nearly 30 years ago.

The Art Gods have apparently been paying attention as the fine artist that created this masterpiece walked into the gallery last week and manifested this epic piece of art and history in the flesh!

Bill Walker is his name and we are honored to share his incredible painting and story with you for some big projects in the works.

Does the idea of a @gratefuldead retrospective get anyone else excited or am I trippin? I think it’s a great idea and needs to happen so stay tuned and pay attention because we are thinking BIG and EPIC on this one!
