Citizens,

It took five days, but I’ve finally bounced back from an all-night push to finish some killer new work and to install it at the Tea Lounge here in Brooklyn.

Come check it out and celebrate the end of the weekend this Monday from 5-8pm and stay to hear the SIXTEEN PIECE jazz ensemble led by Russ Flynn at 9pm. From what I’ve heard it should be new, groovin, and loud!
(www.russflynnmusic.com/live/)

The Tea Lounge has a full bar and transforms into an event space after dark. Lots of room and tons of comfy couches.
$3 Beers | $4 Wine

WHAT:
Tonky’s Art Opening

WHEN:
Monday, March 7th  5-8 PM
Live Music at 9PM

WHERE:
Tea Lounge (google map)
837 Union Street
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to Ben Toht of the Saline Project for help with the poster.

Just in time for your holiday gift giving, I’ve completed my limited edition Justin Beaver Print.

Little is know about the North American Justin Beaver other than:

- He has beautiful hair
- He sings purty
- He chews down trees to build his sub-aquatic home
- His last name rhymes with Bieber

Supplies are limited and priced to sell at $30. See more pics and purchase online here:
Justin Beaver Limited Edition Print.

thanks!

Ye-all,

Check out the NEW design we produced exclusively for Blissliving Home.
The Shangri-La Wall graphic comes in a set of 4 for $75 and is available in “Storm Grey”

What’s cool about this design is that the grey will match any color wall and you can tile multiples as shown above.

Order at BlissLivingHome.com

These slip cast porcelain wares are hand made in Brooklyn, NY.

Available to retailers only. If you want to get your grubby little hands on a piece, urge your local design store, table top shop, or gallery to buy into the line.

Whereas the acrylic stuff is funky and fun, these porcelain”lens” necklaces are elegant and delicious. Those words aren’t really dichotomously opposed pairs. Eh well.

Nevertheless, the single disks (black, red, white) are on long chains, so they can double as soy sauce dishes if you find yourself at a sushi picnic with no vessel.

The “constellation” necklace features white porcelain lenses connected with oxidized sterling silver hardware. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Howdy partners,

Not much sleep these days. Hard at work shooting some of my freshly minted designs.
What do you think of the new laser cut acrylic jewelry?

Above we have:
-Oversized Clinky Necklaces
-Back to Basics Bangles ( circle, square triangle)
- Transparent Color Paddle Necklace

We were up until 5am glazing our new line of functional clay wares. Everything is aesthetically tight and minimally glazed and the porcelain is so thin that firing will create a charming variation in each piece as a subtle warping occurs at red hot 2165 Degrees F.

The official drop date is August 15th at NYIGF here in NYC at the Javits center, but I wanted to give you a peak at some of the pre-fired forms. If you are attending the show come see us at Booth 3901 in the “Accent on Design” section.

The kiln is loaded and heating up so keep your fingers crossed. I’m really excited to see these things finished and glazed.

You can look forward to some tasty photographs within a week or so once the kiln has cooled. We have some gorgeous nesting bowls, modern platters inspired by TV dinner trays, and also ceramic JEWERLY for the first time!

all for now.

love,
-Tonky
