Hello everybody, if you're going to visit the Texas State Fair this year, swing by and see my outdoor sculpture. There are going to be 20 or so of us displaying this year. My sculpture is on 1st street, across from the lagoon, behind Grand Place.

It's that time of year again - the annual TSA Members Show at the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau at 636 S. Main St., March 3-29. I will have a rusty theme going on this year, with my Kinetic Clock, Deep in the Heart of Texas, and my latest creation, Anglerfish. If you're in the area, stop by and see a variety of works by my talented fellow artists and me. If you'd like to meet some of the artists, join us for the closing reception on Saturday, March 29, from 3 to 5.

I will have two sculptures in the Texas State Fair this year. Here is a picture of Deep in the Heart of Texas, which will be in the Arts & Crafts Building, and a link to a video of the wind-powered grandfather clock, which will be outside along 1st Ave behind Grand Place, across from the Lagoon. If you make it to the fair this year, stop by and take a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCW45AprvUk
