It's really a nice change working in three dimensions ... when are you starting on your promised assemblages?

Between commission work, making work for galleries, preparing for upcoming festivals, and basically life, I haven't really been able to work on personal art and it may be awhile. When things slow down... I will finish what I started.

Looking forward to it!
(Basically, life gets in the way of art way too much for my liking ....)

I am developing a preoccupation with miniature railway figures - see my Pinterest board of miniature art here: [link]

Hoping to construct some of my own soon.
