Puppets in the pipe. I added a spoon too. This connects with the newer pieces (to which Neil refers as '2 and 1/2 dimension sculpture)...

Little One in place . The copper has to dry for hours, so I'll stop for now and get started adding some color tomorrow. 

I worked on the Neil sculpture today, and did many other things and am way too tired for photography or writing. So, you get a pretty---sor...

This is the second sculpture, actually. The first is a one-of-a-kind from about ten years ago. The story is called "Every Good Boy Dese...

The Church of the Desert 

I have attended a number of churches in my lifetime. The first experiences happened during my tender, formative years so, naturally, they ar...

I didn't write about Easter. I said pretty much everything I wanted to say on the subject on Valentines' Day. But I saw this guy o...

It's windy as Hell tonight. Someone told me that this area was the second most windy place in the country. I don't know that this is...
