Young Abe Lincoln 3D Sculpture maquette I cannot remember if I ever made a Abe Lincoln in ice. It is very hard to store ice sculpture and I have a lousy memory. I signed up for a 3 day stone sculpture workshop and wanted to have a plan. This head is the plan, a young Abe that I saw a picture of and used it as a reference. The first day the man running the workshop told all us newbees to think small so we could have a finished product to take home. He said to think apple, pear, banana so it was not complicated. Then he went around the group and asked what they were going to make. When he got to me I said a Abe Lincoln and a abstract cat. I thought he was going to come unglued. "Do not pay any attention to this guy. What he is going to make is more chips for my driveway". What ever. I did not have any fancy tools. I had a couple of hand chisels and a cheap Harbor Freight $15 air hammer. What I did have was my maquette here and some experience carving ice. So I was the wacco guy at the end of the line in the old farmer overalls. All the rest of the people were working in a cloud of dust with all kinds of grinding tools. I was happy all by myself chipping away with my air body shop chisel driving a hand chisel instead of using a hand mallet. By the end of the first day I had Abe roughed out. By the end of the second day Abe was 90% done. The eyes are the hardest part so I was going to do those details at home. The third day I made my abstract cat. This man made his living by selling stone and expensive tools. Some people asked the guy what about the tools I was using. He told them the cheap Harbor Freight air hammers would give them carpel tunnel syndrome. Whatever. I did make a lot of chips for his driveway. Better than working in a cloud of dust for three days and getting lung cancer. Abe will be on another page. It has been years and I have still not finished the eyes. Life keeps getting in the way.

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.
