Hi Guys.
Henry Lowenstein didn't know I lived pretty much in his back yard until I contacted him about the April show, and once we got to talking we started designing inlays too.
Henry isn't really into the marine bio thing, although he is an avid fly fisherman.
He's having fun pushing my inlay themes into new directions on some pieces. I am enjoying it as well.
Here is the first one for the show- "moon over Miami". An nude art deco moon goddess drops the pieces from the heavens down onto the fretboard as they turn into a re-make of an old parlor guitar art deco theme form the 1920's I presume. Henry provided the fretboard art form an old guitar, and I developed the girl to go with it. It does go well with the idea of Miami's art deco district.
On the back is a little jester from Henry's days as editor of a college journal he worked with, Columbia University I believe.
It has nothing to do wit the front, but he likes it.
Thanks for looking as always, and if I didn't meet you at NAMM then hopefully your going to the show in Miami. I would love to meet everybody there.
For some reason the images look really pixellated- most likely it's my new cheap viewer..
Sincerely,
Craig L
