Bob Badtram, "Hitcher Jerry" Size: 1.24" Price: SOLD


You couldn't really say that Bob Badtram is a famous marble artist, even though he's well known by many of the old school boro collectors, learning from Bob Snodgrass, etc. However, his marble making style is one of my favorite styles ever, and he has made some of my very favorite marbles over the years. He is crazy creative with what he does, layering his scenes to give this awesome 3D depth to them, and basically painting the glass on to his tiny marble canvases. They are just AWESOME.

This one showcases one of his most famous scenes, Jerry Garcia hitchhiking along Route 66 (at least I think it's supposed to be Route 66 anyway). The scene is layered soooo well, and you have that great night time cosmos in the far background. CRAZY AWESOME marble! You definitely want one of these in your collection!
