A Diffrent Kind Of Art...

[brmstn69]

I've been debating whether or not to post this here, but here goes...

My cousin is actually a world renowned artist (at least in his particular medium) that has been featured on the covers of dozens of magazines and won many prestigious awards. The reason I debated posting about it is because his chosen medium is somewhat controversial. He's a firearm engraver, one of only a handful of Master Engravers left in today's modern world of machine and laser engraving. So I hope you can overlook the fact he works with guns and simply appreciate the artistry and skill involved...

I'm really not a friend of weapons. But these, you have shown here, are not only weapons but as well a perfect work of art!!! Your cousin really is a great artist! I really fell in love with the TATONKA SAA!!! Please tell your cousin that he has created masterpieces - and that from me who hates weapons.

Thank you. I guess I should mention that while guns are his claim to fame that's not all he does. A jeweler by trade, he has made may other pieces for the rich and famous as well as many world leaders. Queen Elizabeth has commissioned several pieces including a silver tea set and pope John Paul a silver platter.

Wow - this will be my only comment. Great, Brmstn69 - congrats to this blessed artist in your family. You should show more of his work here.

The problem there is that most of his work is private commissions and not for public display. I can only show what's in his public portfolio, and that's pretty much limited to guns.

He does however teach private classes on engraving as well as public tutorials and demonstrations on his youtube channel. I may post some of those sometime.
