[[File:Tatum 604.jpg|thumb|left|Paul's unique stem work]][[File:Tatum 606.jpg|thumb|Paul's unique stem work]]Paul Tatum is an American original.  His pipes exhibit a unique personality and design sense with quirky, humorous and inventive interpretations of classic shapes and shapes that are uniquely his own.  Coupled with that is Paul’s attention to the nuance of surface detail. The engineering of Paul’s pipes is exceptional, which should come as no surprise since Paul is an engineer.

I'll have to think about the taxidermy eye. I honestly can't recall right now how that came about. I do know that I wanted a grading system that was somewhat visible from a distance, so the eyes were a way to do that. They were also very easy, just a small touch to the stem with a 1/8" bit and I was ready to epoxy in the eye. I think I used the eyes on tampers before the pipes came along and it was just a natural move to incorporate them into the identity. I've always liked the weird eyeball jewelry when I was a kid, so working with taxidermy eyes was a given once my tampers got strange. I really don't recall any particular moment when I decided to use the eyes for stem logos.
