    Without a SHADOW of a doubt, I couldn't care less what it is I watch you make.. every single sculpture made by your hands is **100%** worth watching.
    It's amazing to watch you make anything and wish I could have someone like you as a mentor and teacher.
    Honestly fella, whatever you do, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.

    ALL of it sir, I want to see all of your types of work. Love this one too.

    I like the mixture of watching multiple sorts of styles and materials used. So not a specific one. It depends on the sculpture and what your head wants.

    Always love the idea of recycled material into sculptures, and the (painstaking process) of epoxy into art!

    All sculptures are good, but personally the wood and epoxy is my favorite
