Welcome to 'Art That Blows', or should I say 'used to blow'. Art That Blows is
a form of art I create out of 'retired' musical instruments mixed with Italian Glass neon lighting and airbrushing. Each piece is custom made and dedicated to a legend of the mainstream jazz era. The outcome is simply amazing art.

Using real instruments and stripping them down (all keys and valves removed),
I then draw patterns on the body and keys where I want to plasma cut areas out,
that will let the neon light show through. After sandblasting and painting the
body and removed parts with enamel, the cut out areas are sprayed with multiple colors of acrylic paint, to bring out the design. The neon is then formed to fit
the instrument. A base is fabricated out of brushed aluminum, and the piece
is complete.
