"The Dispatch" - press about me for Art-A-Whirl/ Train Repair Progress

It's nice to have friends out there looking out for you...in this case some nice press! It's not a big blurb but it's still fun to see what comes up about your work. In this case, I'm referred to as a "sculpture legend"...something they refer to when you're getting old I guess, right? Ha! Thank you much to Sculptor Craig Snyder, a friend and accomplished fellow artist that I've had the pleasure to know. Check his work out at www.FIRESHAPES.com. Also checkout all the artists mentioned on this site and I hope you can stop by for this year's Art-A-Whirl this weekend!

Also, I'll be showing the repair/replacement of my "Train" piece for an insurance company in Sioux Falls. It won Best in Show overall for Sioux Falls Sculpture walk 15 (?) years ago and was sold locally. It was pretty beat up so I decided to replace the entire train portion with stainless steel. Here it is just back from the sandblaster. It's a little on the dull side so I have to polish it up a bit to bring out the shine. Hope you can swing by and check it out!
