This work inspired me because of how the art was way ahead of the time period in which it was created. The procedure to craft these bronze heads was complex in the way of casting the metal, and furthermore, it required large amounts of manual labor. This form of artwork was…

I was recently at a location and was asked “How do I get out of the truck and get to wear Shiny shoes”? I was a bit taken by surprise and never really considered the possible answer before.

So, what did I do? I reinforced the straws and made it into triple straws for more suspension. Before I dropped I was…
