About me: I'm a welder turned sculptor. I've been welding since 1972 and in 1995 I started playing around with some junk I had in my shop. By using my welding skills and combining that with fun, I started creating the sculptures I make today. The sculptures I make are made from a vast array of found metal objects (nuts, bolts screws, tools, brass buttons, tokens, just about anything). I use a TIG welder to weld and braze the various objects together. The TIG welder allows me to control the heat which is important because otherwise some of the items I use would be destroyed. What is fun for me, is to hide interesting objects in plan site on each of the sculptures. In doing this people have the fun of discovery as they look at the sculptures. I do a lot of the outdoor art festivals on the west coast and I see myspace as another art festival, only this one is world wide. Myspace gives me the opportunity to show the world my art form. It’s always better to see sculptures in person but hopefully you will be able to appreciate them when you look at the pictures. They are what they are. I appreciate any comments you might want to post but if you have a question you would like answered, please email me at pogan@msn.com and I will try to answer as soon as possible.
On Myspace, I will post pictures of various sculptures I have made in the past.

On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
