Very unexpectedly, I lost 2 big commissions, and another one that was to keep me "alive" for the time being got postponed for several months. To further fit a country song narrative, I lost my truck, but also my trusted minivan literally fell apart on a highway somewhere in Colorado. And yes, my wife recently left me too.

And now, I am already 1, soon 2 payments behind on my Granity City studio I spent all my savings on, to be ready to make cool art, including glass and welded stuff, and even the world-famous (so what!) Tree Hugger Project, not to mention the 2 big commissions that just fell through.

Things happened so unexpectedly that without your help I may have to just walk out, as I can't even afford storage.

With your help, I can restructure, become more realistic, more frugal, and if necessary, move in a controlled way to a smaller space, and still make some great, or at least, cool art I hope to share with you, several galleries that are already interested in my work, and maybe even again, the world!

And I'd rather see my work, including the glass birds and the big paintings, go to you than storage...
