artist statement
To begin this series, Jimmy and Brian selected several photographs about glassblowing. Each artist started a panel – Brian began Off the Grid while Jimmy started the first round for The Rookie. After passing each image back and forth several times, they each finished the other person's panel.

Off the Grid
Round 1
Brian started off using close-up shots of patterns on blown glass vases.
Round 2
Jimmy added some color, parts of a contact sheet and a few other elements.
Round 3
Brian went "Good Will Hunting" on this one, including a Oaxaca-inspired skeleton while he had the chance.
Round 4
Jimmy redeemed himself with an amazing color-shift and radial turbine pattern.
Round 5
Brian attempted to obliterate most of the smaller details that became too distracting for him to concentrate.
Round 6
Jimmy used Brian's grid for an underlying photo array. Above it, lies a subtle image of the most notorious Light Pilot of them all – Mr. William Finney Smith.
The Rookie
Round 1
Jimmy began The Rookie with a combination of over-saturation and high-contrast.
Round 2
Brian added light sabers, eyes and a few extra heads!
Round 3
Jimmy saw the heads and went crazy with them.
Round 4
The light sabers made Brian think of his love of science fiction and, well...
Round 5
Feeling a little overwhelmed by all the colors, Jimmy toned it back down.
Round 6
Brian ended it with a tribute to the rookie himself, Evan Chambers.
