Wouldn't be so bad if the type was set a little better!

Death Metal Lizard

My hands were literally dripping with blood while working with this metal stuff. Every time you cut it, it spawns baby razorblabes. My hands withstanding everything is going well (almost ready for concrete)

Animal Art at the Crux

I put a piece in the animal-themed art show at the Crux Art Collective. Hayes, Marie and I attended the reception in costumes with brown bag beverages. Here are some shots of Hayes next to his favorite piece, the kids in costume, and Hayes pointing out my art to anyone who would listen.
