"Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart".
Sculpting has become my full-time occupation, and thankfully there is nothing else I'd rather be doing with time. My artwork is a product of my hands, heart, and imagination. I've posted some of my creations here, they also can be seen at www.salembarker.com
I'm currently represented here in Rockford, IL at the Golan Liberman Contemporary Art Gallery (2209 E. State St. hours are 10-5pm weekdays

About me: "I worry about nothing, and am thankful for everything, even my burdens, cuz my burdens keep me thankful for everything."

Hey Salem! Looking forward to your wedding. It's gotta feel good. It sure does out here in Phoenix. Just painted the entire inside of George's rental house today with a professional sprayer,and my hair and new shoes too. What a retard. It was fun though, I don't want to use a roller again after using that, but it takes longer to clean. I'll send ya some fruit if you'd like. Let me know. Peace brutha!
Hey bro, I've meant to send my apologies for not making it to the merch mart Sunday; I was just too caught up in work and couldn't make it out in time. Still, it was good to see you in the flesh the day before (believe it or not, I like seeing you even more than your artwork. Sometimes.) Really though, make sure that you let me know next time you're in the city so I can plan better to meet you! Cheers buddy! And congrats on those sales!!
