CHEERS!!!

My name is Lee Krasnow, world famous designer of interlocking wooden puzzles, master puzzle-craftsman, and owner of Pacific Puzzleworks: a California based puzzle manufacturing business. Over the course of my career as a full-time puzzlemaker (since 2001) I have undertaken numerous elaborate projects which have pushed the limits of my creativity and skills as a self-taught artist, inventor and entrepreneur. In the simplest sense, this website serves a portfolio of photographs that I have taken of those projects, however I hope someday to turn this into an autobiographical catalogue raisonné of sorts.

Although pricing and availability are listed for some of these items, please accept my apologies that I am no longer handling my own online sales. If you are interested in purchasing something that I have made, please pursue any or all of the following options:

Sign up for an account on Eric Fuller's cubicdissection.com website, where you will find puzzles of mine listed for sale at fixed prices. Typically Eric updates his website with new items for sale about 4-6 times per year, with his next update happening sometime this summer. Be forewarned that new inventory often sells out within the first few hours after Eric sends out his email newsletter announcing that the website has been updated... so when you get that email... ACT FAST!!

Sign up for an account on Nick Baxter's Baxterweb Puzzle Auction website, where you will occasionally find puzzles of mine listed for sale by proxy-bid auction. Typically Nick runs his auctions about 3-4 times per year, with his next one planned for sometime towards the end of May, 2010. Be forewarned that some of the collectors who frequent Nick's auctions are wealthy, and SERIOUS about adding high-end limited availability puzzles to their collections. Take "LOT 1013" for example.

Come visit my San Francisco Bay Area workshop for one of my "open studio" weekends, where I've usually got a few odds and ends lying around for sale. My next upcoming open studio weekends are scheduled for: June 5-6 and June 12-13 (11am-6pm). Another open studio weekend is planned for early December. Please no unannounced visitors; email me to make an appointment if you want to come for a workshop tour outside of my posted open studio schedule.

Lastly, feel free to send me an email with with any comments about my work or this website, but please be patient with me in waiting for a response. I am sorry, but I do not have any newsletter or mailing list for you to sign up for, however Eric Fuller and Nick Baxter both do. On behalf of myself and my "shop girl extrordinaire" Riley, THANK YOU for taking the time to explore this website, and for your enthusiasm for the work that we do!!
