Hey everyone,

I used to be a diehard AC player, had a lot of fun playing for many years (awhile back). It made a big impression on me however, like many of you I feel that no game has come even close to the thrills and excitement AC gave me.

In the meantime I've done other things, I've become a geological engineer and I've spent two years at a glass-working school in Italy. I decided to undertake making a sculpture that was both functional and very close to me. I wanted to make an Atlan Claw.

I won't babble on and on about it, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. I'm excited to share this with the AC community, I hope you guys take some joy in seeing a real-live Atlan. Furthermore, I wanted to mention that if anyone is interested in getting one for themselves, PM me for more information! (Or you can get in contact with me through my website, www.trevorwasik.com)

This is a one-of-a-kind object, and each further reproduction would be the same, totally unique and hand-made. The claw is sculpted by hand then cast in glass while the stone is hand-blown. It functions well as a lamp, emanating a beautiful soft light that is variable depending on which stone colour you'd prefer.

This is my way of preserving the awesomeness that was and is AC... making it real!
