Poly-gem has some great products that I constantly use.
Hey Mike. I was wondering if you ever got the job in the bahamas or wherever it was that you were recruting for? Love your work! Hope your keeping busy. Talk to you soon,
You have impeccable detail in all of your work, and it's wonderful to look at. As someone who grew up in Colorado, and spent many years spending more time with the rocks than with people, I appreciate the way you re-create what you see. Your water texture looked great--where did it end up?
Hello Mike
Do you train people ? or can you suggest a school. I have learned a few things from artisans in the movie business but they are very protective of the trade.
Birdman, Good to hear from you. I should have known. Great shots man! Good stuff.....are you staying out of trouble? I doubt it. Gotta go now. Send me your e-mail address. Garo

I am thrilled to go to the world of concrete show and participate in the artistry in concrete program. I will be simulating a dead tree with a old kerosene lamp hanging from one of the branches that I have converted to electric, The on/off switch will be hidden in one of the knotholes.
