Southwest
Cues, founded by the late Jerry
Franklin, is renown as one of the twelve master pool cue crafters
of the
world.
Southwest
pool cues,
crafted
with absolute precision using the
most exquisite materials available, is well known both for the
stunning beauty of composition and extraordinary playability.
By combining master craftsmanship with theme-based miniature
fine art, Southwest Cues and Charlie Holm have created a vision
that has resulted in several series of pool cues of exceedingly
high
value
that will
be collected
for generations to come.
Currently, all pool cues that have been rendered with miniature
fine art are in private collections.
"Charlie
Holm's fine artwork is known for its extraordinary protrayal of
visual, emotional, and spiritual perspective, which reaches beyond
"just a physical" portrayal of the subject into the deep
reaches of metaphysical and natural reality.
"As a portrait artist, he reaches to pull the spirit of expression.
As a surrealistic painter and artist, he naturally reveals the
rich symbolism
of nature. As a miniature artist, he demonstrates extreme precision
and command with both the brush and canvas. He is truly a master
of composition."
