NEW: Driftwood trees!
I’ve made a few new driftwood tree sculptures. They’re made from wood I collected on Long Beach Island beaches while doing some sunrise photography this winter. They’re all listed in my Etsy shop!

Forgive me for not posting to the blog so much. Below will give you an idea of what I was doing instead of typing on my keyboard… Last weekend was a great event, the Summer Art Opener, at m.t.burton Gallery in Surf City, Long Beach Island. This was the first time that my buddy Greg […]
