Michael Parks has distinguished himself as a deft and creative interpreter of English classics. His work has the remarkable ability to feel both novel and traditional at once. We find him here working with the Bulldog shape, whose robustness and masculinity he has exaggerated to great effect. The playful form makes for a striking counterpart to the traditional, almost minimalist color palette.

Where Michael really pulls out all the stops is on the craggy sandblasting that imbues the pipe with loads of visual and textural appeal.
