Josh Simpson and Joyce Roessler: "Planet Attack 2" Size: 1.87" Price: SOLD

This is about as rare of a Simpson planet as you will ever find - a collaboration with Joyce Roessler! For this one Josh created a super nice Inhabited Planet, and then Joyce added one of her jellyfish (or some other sort of alien creature?) floating near the surface up above. There were very few of these made, and you seldom see them for sale. My favorite feature of this planet is the gold that Josh worked into the surface. Both the land masses and the oceans have tons of rich detail in this one, truly wonderful glass, so real looking, like a real planet! Let your imagination wander as you travel the atmosphere and undulations of this world, wondering what its inhabitants are thinking as a massive creature navigates the realms above. Spectacular marble. This one was made back in 1998, so you can be assured Josh actually created this one, especially since it's a collab. Nowadays, Josh makes very few of the planets directly himself, as his team of glassblowers does the majority of the work and Josh focuses on quality control and other larger projects. He had a much smaller operation back in '98 though, and this one is all him, and an important piece of glass history. Signed '8.40 JS/JR 98'.
