 The picture you will be seeing next
is a sculpture he has made and is
located around our area in Grand
Rapids, at the Frederik Meijer
gardens. It’s a skull that’s made out
of bronze, and do you think the
boat oars are all made of wood or
tractor tires? It’s actually made
out of hard metal.

 I chose this artist because his work inspires
me and I like how he mainly draws hearts and
skulls. I feel that the hearts represents the way
he has love and passion for his artistic abilities.
