Hi,
Here is a sneak preview of "The Armageddon Cue" that is being unveiled at the Windy City Cue Show this Saturday. There are esoteric nuances and symbolisms contained in this art that will be revealed at the show. It is a detailed hand painted cue with air brush template shading performed by Ken Simonsen. His canvas is our fully cored, three point, three veneer cue with Ebony forearm and butt sleeve with 30 stich sterling silver rings in 5 positions.
This cue's concept has been in development for over four years and it is the first of our Masters Collection which will depict the history of world events through the imagry documented on collector cues. This first cue depicts the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans on the vernier equinox in 2012.
Esoteric Cue and Artist Ken Simonsen have joined forces to develop our long term plan for this collection whereby we will build 2 cues for every world event theme on our roster retaining one of each unit for our collection. This collection will be owned jointly by Ken and myself as The Master's Collection.
This Master's Collection will take many years to complete and Ken and I are excited and extremely focused about the exciting journey that we have undertaken.
Some of the cues that are now being built for our draft design themes are:
The 9-11 Heroes Tribute Cue ( showing the raising of the Freedom tower and the events of 9-11)
The Moon Shot ( Apolo 11 )
The Civil War
The American Revolution
Honor of the Samurai
The Wild West
I have known Ken Simonsen for many years and he is truly a great artist trapped in the world of commercial art. Ken and his family have a extensive involvement in the pool community and he was the former Graphics Artist for Pool and Billiards Magazine before becoming a full time independent commercial artist. This long term cue project is giving Ken the vehicle to express himself without any limitations in the cue world.
I am so excited that Esoteric Cue and Kenny have made this long term Master's Collection commitment and I am sure through this collaboration that we will make our mark in this area over time.
Enjoy and Thanks for looking,
Rick Geschrey
The first eight photos were taken at the the art studio and do not have a clear coat finish yet.
All details of this cue were hand painted with a sable hair liner brush in Ken's capable hands. Note the small signature performed with the brush. All 3D shading where done with an air brush.
The Four Skulled Horseman of the Apocalypse
Death by nuclear fall out from the evil within man's ability to destroy the planet

The perfectly aligned stone work with asymmetrical joints are a feature of the architectural reality of the Chichen Itza Pyramid in Mexico. This detail is depicted in the art seen here.
