Hello everyone, at the moment i am writting my post from the hotel lobby (i am in Eilat, which is the southest city in Israel, the perfect place for vacations and holidays), family is with me and we took a short vacation as a great summer start, school is over and we are enjoying the summer with pool, sun and... swimming with Dolphins! yesterday i had the most amazing adventure when both me and the kids took a short dive with dolphins, what an experience! recommended (if you have some dolphins around :)

i cannot forget you all, so i am here for some PC links...

Amazing polymer clay sculptures by Owen Klaas, As a child he was constantly drawing and practicing the art of caricature. About ten years ago he discovered polymer clay and his art would never be the same. he realized that he could turn his one dimensional drawings of weirdness into fully realized three dimensional objects of weirdness, and of course
(like all of us), he was hooked :) - see photo of beatles

Billy's art is a little scary, "dark art", his resume says that he is a Co-owner in Artists Inc. a custom art studio specializing in the fabrication of artwwork for clients such as museums, zoos, aquariums, libraries, (more on his list). their services include sculpture/pattern generation, mold-making/casting, models/prototypes and so on... you can find in Billy's flickr the photos of sweet sweet Clair which is definetly the "opposite type" comparing to his polymer clay "people".

Another sculpturer is Nancy Vogel which together with photographer Erica Lea make "Nature Visions". Dogs and other animals are their speciality.
