Old Art Pieces




This piece of copper started out as a flat piece. Soldering is truly an art. I ruined a lot of pieces by not soldering properly.


This was before computer graphics hit the art scene. This was done by hand with an ink pen. 

 All hand-inked with pen.

 Lithography is a method for printing using a limestone with a completely smooth surface. Lithography involves using a lot of chemicals to prepare the printing surface plus all the sanding of the limestone. I’m sure I took 5 years off of my life using this media. Not only was I inhaling all the harsh fumes and particles from the sanding, I also had to wash my hands with turpentine! I'm amazed we were taught to do this in my class!



My favorite pair of shoes - KSwiss surfer tennis shoes. Oh, how I wish I could find a pair just like these today!
