This is a link to a dvd on youtube about my Metal Art Sculptures. It is in french, I live in France, but I believe images tell more than words.

For me, the great joy in my work comes from turning something considered worthless into the artwork it becomes. In this way I am showing my respect for the metal.

Approximately 4' tall, mild steel abstract sculpture. Flap-disked parts of it and left others to their raw state. High gloss protective clear coat. In retrospect, I would choose a 1/4 x 12" round or square piece of plate to use as its base in place of the 2 x 4 or 2 x 6, whatever it was I used which I thought was neat-o back then...thank goodness for the cognition of artistic erudition.

I'M NEW HERE AND I'M JUST STARTING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS MY SECOND EFFORT. 9'2" WINGSPAN. WHEN IT WARMS UP A LITTLE MORE HERE IN CENTRAL NY. I PLAN TO GET SOME PAINT ON IT. I JUST FINISHED THE TALONS, AND HAVE YET TO TEXTURE THE FACE.

My welded tag alder next to the real thing.
