I've been on a big bong-making kick recently. Check out [link] , [link] , and a third bong that's currently in the works. It combines my love of art, fantasy, and pot, what's not for to love about making bongs? Well, I'll tell you: They're piling up and it seems the world is conspiring against me trying to sell these things off.

I thought I could sell these things on ebay, kijiji, craiglist or some other online marketplace but it turns out that pretty much ALL of them have policies that forbid the sale of drug paraphernalia, pornography, and tobacco products, all of which could conceivably apply to my works. I can understand these websites need to cover their asses. The last thing they want is to become an online black market where people buy and sell drugs, guns, and thier bodies at bargain prices, but at least in my corner of the world, it's perfectly legal to sell bongs.

I did ask the owner of a local head shop that I like about selling my bongs through her store, but her franchise bosses kiboshed it. I'm guessing it might be because my bongs hava naked boobies on them and this store seems to be a clean image kind of place. There's another skeevy headshop in town that sells lots of naked titty stuff, but I think the owner there is pretty skeevy. I'd seriously worry about my bongs getting broken, stolen, or confiscated in a police raid, and there I'd be with no bongs, no money, and a sad look on my face.

So I've decided to not worry about it too much for right now and just concentrate on making art. I'll worry about selling my bongs once I actually have some made.
