Hi,

Here is a sneak preview of our latest "Art of Cue Inc." rendition called the Civil War Cue. This cue is 95% finished and has only a thin lacquer finish on it to protect the art. I had to grab it from Ken today for it's unveiling at Big Chris's show this weekend. He will finish some more fine details next week and sign the cue so I can epoxy and clear coat.

The Civil War Cue is the 5th cue of our collection of cues representing the history of the world. "Art on Cue, Inc." is an entity the that Ken and I have created as the collaboration effort of Esoteric Cue and Ken Simonson Cue Artist.

Next up is the "Leonardo Di Vinci Cue" and the "Nicola Tesla Cue" to represent the contributions to the world made by these two geniuses.

Here are a few pics I took at the studio tonight. Next week Ken will take the pictorial documentation of his art creation with the proper lighting conditions.

From my own point of view, I think Ken has made the art flow in the forearm and points in a very natural an seamless way.

Wow, that's some incredible artistry. I love how the ribbons have the illusion of wrapping around the points. Great work, guys !!

Sean,

I stained the handle and butt sleeve and Ken used the natural wood to come through on the gun stock which is pretty cool also.

As always with these cues, there are no adequate words to express how stunning these are...

You've really picked some great themes for these cues!
 
That's just beautiful. You guys are a dream team for museum quality theme cues. Can't wait to see the others!

Great stuff!

Jason,

As always thank you for your kind words about Ken's Art my friend.

We started with Armageddon and we will finish with Caveman Art but there may be one more in the hopper, "The Darwin Cue" which will look millions of years into the future showing Ken's view of evolution on earth after man's destruction. A fantasy, I hope!!!!!!
