It does my a lot of good to see a talented artist pursuing something they are so passionate about. Keep it up, and please let us know when you've completed new pieces.

Thanks, Bill! I had no intent of selling the Hendrix. After I made it, a local blues joint that had been open for a couple of months purchased my Elvis. He asked if he could also hang the Hendrix. I told him it wasn't for sale (everything on the walls of the blues club had a price attached and was for sale). He told me to price it where nobody would buy it. I did. Two days later, he called me to come pick up a check. I was stunned. Less than a month later, a person representing Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) contacted me asking me about the Hendrix. Evidently, he's a big Hendrix guy. That was a pretty amazing email exchange.
