"Close Encounters of the Canine Kind" to be made for Mankato CityArt

Okay, it's a bad drawing of a silly event but I'm really looking forward to making it.

It is an image of our dog Maxx jumping up and grabbing a UFO like a frisbee. My son drew this image way back when he was about 6 years old and I always thought it was such a fun idea that I'd try to make it. The challenge of something that is 3D vs 2D is that I have to make it self supporting so I've added the curved supports to hold it up. Also, my son had the UFO floating in mid air which I really can't do in an outdoor sculptural piece.

We'll have to see how it goes.
