I've been doing fabricated metal sculpture for about 7 years now, after previously doing structural aluminum fabrication. I mainly do abstract contemporary wall art in steel, and aluminum as well as ornamental iron. I'm looking forward to learning some of the other techniques others of yall are doing. Also could anyone help me get into doing commercial and public art? I'm not sure how to get started in all that and would love to learn.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/designermetal/2009/07/new_but_cant_wait_to_get_aquainted">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/designermetal/2009/07/new_but_cant_wait_to_get_aquainted#comment commercial art Fabricated metal metal art public sculpture steel sculpture Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:41:08 -0500 DesignerMetal 8567 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/kjcreative/2008/02/fabricated_sculpture_kelly_johnston <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>Hello all,</p> <p>My name is Kelly Johnston.
