That's seriously awesome. I'm talking artistry since the work is a given.
Great design on that.

Hey I really feel the love!

This one was birthday present for John... He's like 22 or something. I forget! And also for being the very first luthier to comission my work for the most part. Don't everybody start e-mailing me with their birthday dates! I need to charge for these things at some point...


Anyway Steve you can see this one up close one day- it's for John's persona banjo I believe.
Sadly the photo realy doesn't do this one any good at all. it really has to be seen in person.

Thanks again- more soon! It's been a productive week.

That's awesome Bruce.
Some of those look like real photo inverses!

Art for the sake of art for the sake of art, banjo turns canvass turns american history turns Warhol!


The next one is back to my old self, sea life- with a twist though... It's certainly taking a while the next one- it's complicated!
