Artist A Day
If you haven't already discovered it, check out Artist A Day. They profile some really fine work and the site is beautifully designed. A nice community has sprung up to discover and discuss a wide variety of great art.
I'm honored to be today's artist, #732. Check it out. If you're so inclined, you can rate my work (a simple 5 star system) or go one step further and leave a comment. (Not that it's a competition, but if I could top my good friend and outstanding fellow-sculptor Emil Alzamora, that would be a feather in my cap!)

After Australia
Though a lot of my time these days is consumed by taking care of Little Zoe, I did manage to finish the sculpture I began several weeks before she was born. Here it is in its freshly sandblasted state. Thankfully, it has warmed up a bit here so I can begin the rusting process properly. I washed it off on Friday after I set it up and the water froze immediately on contact with the steel.
This piece is tentatively titled After Australia in honor of the David Smith sculpture. It wasn't a direct inspiration, just one of those times I noticed a similar sense of drama/movement/poise during the design phase of the work. In the end, my piece diverged quite a bit, and will in all likelihood get a new name, but I do sense a connective thread between the two.

A new addition to the family...
Please join me in welcoming to the world our daughter, Zoe Elizabeth. Born on December 26th at 6:22pm and weighing in at 7 lbs. 4 oz., she is by far the greatest creation I've had the pleasure of contributing to.

Art in the New Economy
If you read one essay on the challenges of creating, selling and buying art in these difficult economic times, I suggest Art in the New Economy by Alan Bamberger.
