This book is a compilation of my "Steel Sculptures" which are my "Forte". There have been many but these are my finest. All are one-of-a-kind and I'm always looking for new and different ways to do a subject. It has taken a lot of study with many visuals and thoughts and a lot of mistakes to keep improving to the point of "Fine Art". These styles have been used, except I've taken them a few steps farther, beyond the norm. The subject matter is something that is triggered by a thought or event that compels me to carry it through. Different ideas require different techniques and materials, but all require time and patience to finish the finest that I require of myself. Example is the "Splinterbowl Challengers" which took two years of research and development plus the idea of making every piece separately, so it reaches my expectations.
The metal artist offers tips on tools, the creative process, and life as an artist and includes color photographs of selected works from his thirty-plus years of sculpting.5NjBwBT
