You want it, but can't afford a piece of my art? 

Perhaps you can afford my art, but don't have the space for a 13' sculpture in your 1 bedroom New York Apartment?

Maybe you think my art is Dreck and but like me. . . as a person.  

Well, then perhaps you would consider a contribution to the Help-An-Artist fund.  All proceeds go directly to an artist in need, okay, okay, the money goes to me.   If you would like to make a donation, you can make a direct, secure donation via PayPal (click on the icon a little further down this page).

If you need more convincing before making your contribution, consider this. . . Artists need to eat; it is a scientifically proven FACT, and other than the occasional loaf of bread stuffed down my pants, cash is needed. It's also a scientifically proven fact that all artists need to drink. . . alcohol that is. . .in order to create:  Vincent Van Gogh drank wine in the cafés of Paris; William Shakespeare drank beer in the pubs of England; and Salvador Dali drank, well, surely whatever HE drank is illegal today, so we won't go there, but the point is, buying me a drink is like creating art yourself!

Suggested donation amounts:

$4.30 - - - - - - - - A domestic wine at a local cafe.
$20.50 - - - - - - - A bottle of cheap domestic wine at Tweatens, Port Orchard's finest drinking establishment.
$55.00 - - - - - - - A case of 6 Italian wines from a local grocery (price reflects the 10% discount for 6 bottles!).
$1,940.00 - - - - - A very nice bottle of wine in the Pigalle district of Paris (price includes airfare).
$3,700,000 - - - - A nice local winery.
$2,536,554,000 - Controlling interest in a little French vinyard I have my eye on.

I also take on work from other artists when they need help.   I offer welding and finishing services to them at a reasonable rate and can also deliver and set up nearly any size sculpture.   My boom truck has an 18' bed on it and can lift, move, and install pieces up to 10,000 pounds nearby or 800 pounds at 53' out!   You can get more information HERE
