Links update
I’m feeling today like I have neglected the “links” section of this site a bit. Its a place where I try to bring attention to people whom I respect or feel an affinity with. I’ve added a few names to the list and thought I would post some highlights here as well. Enjoy

Whew! There are countless others that I could list, but thats all I have the patience for today. I’ll be sure and do a follow-up post before too long.
Still one of my favorites. A man after my own heart as far as found objects are concerned.
Recent addition to the AKA collective. Way classy mechanical sculptures.
Only the single most humbling outfit out there. Totally mind blowing huge mechanical animals. Naturally I’m most fond of their squid.
Cool machines made from all sorts of materials. Some functioning, some not. I really can’t decide which I like more.
Animal sculpture from scrap metal. I like his insects the best.
Metal sculptor of the high craft variety. I am most taken with his suits of meticulous armor for cats and mice.
Automata is cool. Its even cooler when its built into a mobile museum.
Very slick kinetic art, as well as other forms of sculpture.
Spooky little metal sculptures. Most are inspired by insects and contain some found objects.
We can’t forget Arthur Ganson. Easily the most influential figure in this line of work.
Greg is another metal master with a tendency towards figurative work. His latest involve some kinetic elements too. He is also co-owner of the awesome Device Gallery.
Reuben’s sculptures really need to be seen to be believed. Large, ceiling hung, kinetic models of wave forms.
Christopher knows how to make anything. Often this takes the form of kinetic sculpture. Often he works tirelessly to help me with my own pieces.
Yup, my dad. Check his beastly portrait of his own father.
Very eerie kinetic pieces that move by way of wind and fluid pressure.
Speaking of eerie. Here are some lovely little pieces fashioned from old bones and brass hardware.
