Ok, if you are here to check out my lamps lanterns and chandeliers made from tin cans, click on the slide show below, the one showing pictures of lanterns and me welding. This will take you to my other myspace site, where you can find my entire catalog of luminaries if you "view my pics" there.
I decided in 1997, that as an environmentalist I could no longer justify using something so environmentally destructive as "grid" electricity, for something so frivilous as art. Since then I've constructed a modest solar powered studio for my music projects and create art from recycled packaging (tin cans mostly)
