After visiting your website, and concluding that it is the most fantastic metal art website I have ever visited, I feel humbled by your mastery, honored by your comments, and thankful for your encouragement. I spent hours enjoying your wonderful works, and even longer reading the comprehensive process. In addition, you're a hell of writer... perhaps even a poet! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and your philosophical perspectives.
I took an introductory (3-Saturday) metal art class which covered just the bare basics. I wanted to get started on my own before having to complete any more classes, but after seeing your masterpieces, I know now that I definitely need more formal education in this medium.
You're right, the dragon does have an extensive, rich, and dramatic history. And yes, as you say, "the dragon has so many symbols which relate to our personal lives." I do find certain (maybe too many) aspects of my own personality in the beast. I think that's why I chose it for my first solo piece.
And yes, I am having fun... not to mention, a meaningful experience! It is my pleasure to bring back old memories... and you are the catalyst for wonderful future remembrances.
Thank you, J.R.
PS: Rick C. is right, Destragon is one bad-ass dragon!
