One + One

We headed down to Glashaus (matt + gregs studio) to check out the show that morgan was throwing for Phil. A wide variety of talented local artists were selling jewelry, clothing, accessories, photography, sculpture, ceramics, blown glass, and much more with proceeds of their sales going straight to the Museum School. Great job!!

Metal Matt-ers

Matt picked me up after work to head down to competitive metals in el cajon. It’s a cool place. Full of a ton of metal. The shop sheared a piece of 10′ x 3/8″ aluminum like a knife thru hot butter.
