This is my latest commission for American Agricultural Credit, a bank that gives loans to the local wine industry (thus the grape theme). We installed the piece today and there's an opening with all the big wig execs on Thurs Nov 10th.

Despite the fact it's sitting on the floor, I welded together a surplus of accumulated mild steel end-cuts to produce this simple wall hanging sculpture.

This was my first attempt at hammering steel and using my new mig welder and plasma cutter, done in '08. The background it is attached to is ceramic tile adorned with strands of jute twine.
This was originally from a series of "Death Masks", it is titled "Diamond Head".

Hi All, Things have been a bit hectic the past couple of months, but was able to get a few things done in the process. Here is a neat little project i just finished for a local grade school. The outgoing class(5th graders I believe) had organized fund raisers and such and wanted to do have a sculpture of their mascot made for their entrance hallway. The basic concept came from a drawing by a local cartoonist that the school uses for mascot representation. Everything was laser cut, then textured using a plasma torch with a gouging tip, then clear coated. Can't wait for the kids to see it when they come back to school.
