Palo Alto High School, Palo Alto, California

what high school is that? a high school with a hotshop is awesome, I had to settle for industrial design. Which admittedly has served me pretty well

[Dierwolf2000]

and furthermore ALL the forms i've EVER seen afro and lino create are either traditional venetian vessel forms, or modifications of them. are you gonna tell me lino is a rip off artist from archiemede serguso with whom HE apprenticed?

[Dierwolf2000]

and furthermore, maybe Afro is leaning to heavily on Lino's style. But as with any art or artist, the only one who gets to say that is LINO. Pull your head out of your ass buddy, the guy taught Afro everything he knows, of course there's gonna be similarities.

LOL dude, you're an amateur with no fucking clue what he's talking about. Lino and Afro on the other hand are both Maestros with decades of training and experience, and the inheritors of a thousand year tradition. You not only haven't earned the right to critique EITHER of them, or their decisions, but you are doing so with woefully inadequate knowledge. Shut your trap, learn, and let your ego simmer down. Otherwise, ten years from now, I'll still consider you an idiot.

So sorry to burst your bubble but apparently youre the idiot. The prime word in you statement is the word was. Afro WAS Linos assistant. When Afro left, Lino supported his decision to go create his own work, but Afro began creating rip-offs of Linos work with his name on it.  Im an amateur and I have my own ideas. Maestro is a title reserved for artists who exhibit such qualities as expertise, control and CREATIVITY within their medium. Afro is a worker not a maestro.

the amount of hand pulled cane that they have on hand makes me real jealous LOL. cane's something i love making as much as finished pieces!

[Dierwolf2000]

you're an idiot. Afro was Linos Primo Servente. His prime assistant. Not just an apprentice, but the most highly regarded one. If Lino thinks that highly of him, maybe you oughta just be quiet.
