These are links to the site's past entrys , a cataloge of 2004 work or sets of work gathered on this site.
click to view any of these entrys

first set to be gathered here was the building of the "Eyes of Texas" show here in San Marcos, in Sept , it took about a year to do the work and i stored it in an old enrty, they were inspired by the PFA's

Another adventure i had was the invention of these Whirlie gigs, i made some for this show i was in over in RC Gallery in SA, it was quit fun!

this is the two sets, Chappel hill 2001-2002 and FV- landscapes sketched out Floyd VA, made into painting, which i am going to have a show with in a couple of weeks
