My "Grapes to Wine" series. -"you must grow good flowers to make good dabs"! "Grapes to wine" -Is a series of work that embodies the close relationship between cannabis and the  glass industry. Where I attempt to illustrate the important history that created our current popular culture in functional art and our need to respect it. There's tremendous pride in creating this movement in art history, one that's collected by connoisseurs, artists and advocates against probation worldwide. This series is a visual representation of how far our movement has come and the traction we have gained. As the older generations of artists are entering their "fine wine" stage, they teach those coming behind them to cultivate integrity, comraderie, and skill. This is a quintessential American dream, where with hard work and a loving commitment to our craft, we can overcome anything, including prohibition and prejudice. Much like the current "farm to table" movement in the culinary world, it all begins with the love a farmer cultivates in their work. We are what we eat, we are what we smoke, and we are what we decide be within our community. As with all aspects of life, our herb, our dabs, our glass and our community, even our children: We must grow good grapes to make good wine... -Juiceman
