I spend my days melting things, typically glass and steel. With glass, I like to recycle broken antiques. Steel, I basically do whatever I want with. Being the attention hog I am, I love to show people what I make. Forgive me, and enjoy!!!

I'm in the U.S., but have no issues shipping to Europe if you want something want! :)

How about trying a fusion of the Ditka ashtray with the Mr Hyde ashtray to make MC Escher stairs. That would be very cool

The workmanship seemed to me like something an Eastern Europian artist would do, more than an America(Me and my stereotypes, I am aware.)
Do you have an etsy or someplace where you sell your work?

Nice looking stuff! I have always enjoyed the true fusion of "industrial" and "arts". I have a pretty good welding bone; I wish I had an artistic bone half as good as yours.
