~ Click on the picture to go to its gallery page, which has its information (and, generally, a better size for viewing). Clicking works on all pictures here, including the deviantID, except for the Webcam; the Webcam picture information (plus other useful information) is in the Welcome box further down this page.
~ Click on the "Gallery" link near the top of the page to go to my main gallery. All the works in the main gallery are also in the subgalleries on the left side of the main gallery page, and the subgalleries additionally contain many works not in the main gallery, including my computer fonts and my drawings.
~ Almost all works in my galleries are sold. Copies of most of the unsold works are in my Unsold Items subgallery: [link]
~ Of the rest, a few are not for sale; some I consider too minor to sell except in person, and others may not be in Unsold Items because they are too new and/or are on hold.

Welcome

~ I'm often asked how I do my carvings, so I've done an essay "Carving Skulls and Stuff" in the Information folder of my gallery: [link]

~ Items here that have not yet sold are in the Unsold Items folder of my gallery. [link] If you want to buy one, or commission a custom piece, send me a note.

~ The current Webcam selection is a group photo taken at the first Time Travelers Picnic near the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco (and close to the park's forest of giant ferns).

Sparks That Spiral Upward

~~~ Hectic continues. The bathroom was torn out very thoroughly, fixtures, walls, ceiling, and floor, [link] [link] and is still in process of being replaced. It should look very nice when finished. Plus, it will be good to have a bathroom again.

~~~ Maker Faire is here. I have tickets, and plan to go for a day and make important contacts, maybe drop by Himalayan Fair for a few hours to see people I know. I plan to miss the Gem & Mineral Society swap meet, the big bead show, the library book sale, massive garage sales, and other stuff happening that weekend; work to be done. Then BayCon, where I will be selling my art in the vendor room, probably without my business partner, who has urgent matters to attend to.

~~~ Today's recommendations: Hidden Knowledge's Magazine Art site [link] for vast numbers of old magazine covers, old ads, and other such delights. And two people here on dA who not only do great work, but have notably elegant photos of their work: Ellygator [link] and Daniel Pierce [link]

~~~ For several decades I made my living as a research and development technician (mostly electronic and mechanical, some computer gaming) while doing artwork when I could; now I get to be an artist. The art I used to do was mostly drawings and paintings done with India ink and colored inks, or strange creatures and machines made from various plastic materials. These days I mainly carve, what I mainly carve is jewelry, and what I mainly carve things from are natural materials of all sorts. I still do digital art, though, both vector and pixil based, including fonts for computer printing. What next? I'm mostly working on improving my carving, but I want to make some art using the machine tool and computer knowledge from my old "day job".

~~~ I do take commissions, and occasionally trade art. If you are interested, send me a note.

Current Residence: The Far West
Favourite genre of music: Filk (a tradition of the science-fiction community)
Operating System: OS X 10.4 (the latest my computer will run), iOS 6.1
Favourite cartoon character: Hobbes (as in Calvin and Hobbes)
Personal Quote: Be excellent to each other. And... Party on, dudes! (... Bill & Ted)

Don, did I send you a piece of some kinda funky burl? If I did, did you ever do anything with it?
