After the Fall Art Tour

A slow computer on a dial-up/land-line connection
has been preventing more regular posts...
but, here's a quick update:
Victoria Lansford is including my spoon efforts in her new DVD about Eastern Repousse...
I'll announce when it's available.
Mary Machare wrote a wonderful piece about her visit to my studio during the Fall Art Tour...
If you missed the Fall Art Tour................
you can still "wander" through my studio...

I did finally make a proof of the woodblock in progress....

and will be posting it soon...

along with the wood prints done so far

in Booger's 40 day and 40 Night disappearance...

and I'm ever so slowly opening up an ETSY account....

This is my latest project:

For Dave Erickson's documentary about the Lower Wisconsin River
the Paddlefish is one of the features...
the event and documentary for which this is being done is called
Rhythm of the River...
right now, my concern is this fish.............................................................................................................

"Dave Erickson...
award winning filmmaker...
starting with his first...Raising Crane,
which he made at the International
Crane Foundation
has won several national awards...
(you've probably seen it.. it's about the saving of the Sandhill Cranes...
it's a very cool...very wonderful film)
Dave has produced 40-50 films since...
Many of his films are funded by the Wisconsin Arts Board and the Wisconsin Humanities Council.
"He's excited about he $10,000 Humanities grant he's received for his current river project.

"It's my seed money."
He's trying to raise $30,000 more from corporations, businesses and private donations.
The Humanities Grant is from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
