Paul,

It actually is a studio and gallery.  Click on the link within the post to see more of his art.

 

Michael,

Thanks for the comments.

 

Cynthia,

Thank you for the chuckle.  Did you see my previous post?  Check it out for another chuckle I hope.

 

Sally & David,

I am not sure although this one is one of  his famous sculpture that people can not help notice when they  drive by on the highway (his studio and gallery is on the highway in Joliet on the North end of town).  Check out his website.  He sells a lot of his unique art online.  Looking forward to seeing your gargoyles on AR.

Aaahhhh!!!  What a scary monster!!!  Any relation to the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz?  His body trunk looks somewhat similar.

Marc,

Thank you for the smile.  This Creature is not related to the Tin Man.

Hi Gerry, Very creative! I love to see old metal rusted, and I assume re-used in such an artistic way.  The peace sign makes him totally not a monster - or scary! LOL  I'm commenting first, and will go back and click on your link.

HI Gerry!
Like I use to say about my Basset Hound...he is so ugly, he is cute! I know...not suppose to say art is "cute", but what the heck!

Loch Ness monster. Big Foot. And now MM (Metal Monster). I like the peace symbol on MM's neck, though. That seems to indicate that he comes in peace and might not be a monster after all. Could also be reverse psychology, though.

Mary,

The peace sign gave him away.  You are right his is not a monster.  He is referred to as the Creature.

 

Debi,

He is a gentle giant.   You were quick to realize that he is not a monster and I am glad you found the shot fun.

 

Jim,

Very nice art and fun to watch.   You should check out his kinetics art (art in motion).

 

Paula,

As long as it catches your attention and you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

 

Jim,

You guessed it right with the reverse psychology.  My last two posts featured a photo with the peace sign (one very noticable and one you had to pay attention to notice).
