Adopted Family Of Steel People On a dream time adventure we landed on a planet of steel people. It turns out this is a planet of metal scrap yards. They collected scrap metal from all over the universe. Imagine what happens to all the scrap that is developed when all those space ships and colonies are exploded in SY-FY movies. These people developed some kind of giant electro magnet that can attract scrap just like the electro magnet on the giant cranes in our scrap yards here on earth. I saw a movie where all the old ocean ships go to die and are run aground at high tide. There was a slow motion movie showing showing hundreds of people with hammers and chisels and cutting torches disassembling the ship into manageable pieces to drag to the scrap yards. This was some south Asian poor country with very poor people willing do dangerous work for such low wages that it was profitable to not use expensive machinery to disassemble these boats. The important thing is there is a lot of value in scrap metal and recycling. This planet specialized in providing materials to remake components for new uses all over the universe. We send most of our scrape metal to China to remake into a product we buy. Just like the Egyptians had symbols for their leaders. Think of these as logos for family crests of rich families in Europe. This particular logo represents a family where the children were adopted and will look different than their parents when they mature .

I have an ambitious approach to life ... and to art ... make something happen every day ... but most of all have fun doing it! A sculptor first, and now working in 2D, I do my best to do just that. Presented here are examples of some of my work. •• My sculpture runs the gamut from abstract, to figurative, to architectural. The materials and methods used are diverse ... from figures modeled in clay or wax, then cast in pewter or bronze ... to aluminum maquettes (produced by evaporative pattern casting) which serve as the 3D blueprints for the pieces that are enlarged and fabricated from sheet metal of all kinds. •• My 2D pieces range from abstract to figurative. You’ll find Originals done in oils or acrylic, one-of-a-kind monotypes, collages, mixed media paintings, and more ... I love working in all mediums. Some of my 2D work may be available as reproductions on this site. ••• MY FASCINATION WITH SCIENCE FICTION & MAKE BELIEVE - When I was in second grade, television was new and the hottest thing. The "Adventures of Flash Gordon" was my favorite program. There was only one kid in the neighborhood who had a TV. We, all the kids, gathered at his house for every episode. I was a huge fan of the characters. Flash was cool and my hero. Dale Arden was OK but Princess Aura was way cooler because she was naughty. Ming The Mercilous was very interesting. But Dr. Zarkov and his super duper telescope - that could see into time forwards and backwards, far and near - was the star of the show for me. The spaceship was really hoakey. You could see the wire that it was traveling on and the little puffs of smoke coming out of it were a joke, even for me. But the concept of the show was magical. Also at that time there were radio shows about space travel and aliens and monsters. I would listen to those shows with my grandfather as I sat on the floor next to the big wooden box radio so I could get the full impact of the sounds. •• These shows inspired me to draw spaceships, mostly "new and improved" versions of Flash's ship. I taped them all over my bedroom walls. At night I would travel with Flash. We would go to distant parts of the Universe and explore ancient ruins - like what I saw in National Geographic when I was not looking at the bare-breasted girls of exotic cultures. (I think artists and sculptors, are to a large part, voyeurs.) Those memories pop up in my art over and over. •• Faces also intrigue and inspire me.
