Christian Wolfsteiner aka Tarock Briar, prolific artist and sometime pipe maker passed away.
Christian occupied a spot in the pipe world that few people care to occupy. He was a lone wolf always going against the grain.
He was more an artist than a pipe maker & he liked it that way. It all came down to him feeling good about his end product. For Christian, that meant chasing extreme after extreme idea.
Lucky for us, he chose briar as a medium to express his ideas.
The Tarock Briar art was unique, special & other worldly.
Beyond his art, Christian was also a very special guy with a pleasant view on people & humanity.
Christian will be missed by many in more than a few different ways.
If you would like to see a good amount of his briar work & learn a little more about him and his art, you can look at an article I did with him a while back. You will be amazed at the sheer amount of different ideas he went through to make the briar's skin conform to his fantasy. These are some of the most unique briar's ever made. At a purely artistic level, some of the most amazing.
