| Large Sculpture Built for Bristol Galvanizing and entitled "Kayuga" is a large T-REX skeleton measuring 9' tall by 16' long. It was completed in January 2006. Kayuga was galvanized by her new owner and represents their motto "Don't let your steel become extinct." The dino was featured on WBIRs "Live at Five" on channel 10. I took time to review the sekeleton system or real T-rex remains and variuos 3D models. I tried to keep the proportion real. In the end she was remarkable balanced for being as heavy as she was. 
A crane was needed to load her. 
Each part was hand made out of mild steel. The large spine had to be heated and bent. I had to develop new tools to accomodate the large steel pieces. 
Each tooth was hand forged. The head was the first thing I started with and what took the most time.  
She was quite a site on the road heading up to Bristol, Virginia. 
Garden Designs 
|
Striking and unique garden stakes and are built by hand and are all unique and original. I do NOT use stencils, molds, or punched repeats. Each one is drawn out by hand and plasma cut then hand painted. I view are with originality and integrity. My goal is not to put out mass qualities of the same pieces, my goal is to build bigger and bigger and gear toward clients who appreciate this origionality as a contrast of a world of Wal-mart and mass production. My prices are not exceedingly high priced. They are real. By "real" i mean according to the same principals i use for estimating fabricatrion jobs, often the art is sold cheaper than, for example, a tractor bucket repair because i put much fine tuned detail to each origional piece.
Devil Dawg
This is a unique planter made out of an old wash tub and other things.
Swirly Table is available for $400. Does not include the two other small pieces
in the picture. There is also the dragon fly and the metal flower displayed on the
swirly table.
Bulldog Sold, example of Art Nouveau style evident in some of my work.
I get much of my inspiration from nature and the nature of things in general.
Spudnix
Unique found object art, This piece is 2.5' tall and 80 pounds.
I love metal is seems to have it's own life. The next picture is of
the aura of Spudnix...
and here is Link's
Metal holds heat well and is absolutely beautiful all red hot and glowing.
"Free Swim" wall sculpture.
You may see me at local festivals and art-craft fairs.
I also do very functional projects such as these very steep dock stairs in progress. Also, gates, commercial signs
custom componets for vehichles and trailers and custon trailers. I say again "If you can dream it i can build it"
