Arbitrary Design: Sculpture, Photography and Graphics

Hello. 
 
This is my first time visiting this group. I have enjoyed reading
several of the posts here, so I thought I would introduce myself and
invite you to visit my site, Arbitrary Design.
 
My name is Robert and I am a 36 year old sculptor and designer. I
currently live near Baltimore, Maryland, USA with my new wife and a
cat that may be the Anti-Christ.
 
I have been sculpting for 14 years and I work in a variety of media,
including bronze, steel, pewter, wood, ceramics, plastics, wrought
iron, silver, stone and found objects.
 
I also do some photography, drawing, furniture, jewelry, web design
and graphics.
  
My style is all over the place, ranging from classical to 
contemporary, figurative to abstract and surreal to kinetic. Thus the
name, Arbitrary Design.
  
Currently, I am working on a commission for a bronze Gargoyle, 2
kinetic pieces made from Corian and brass, a large futuristic knife 
with a bronze handle... and there are always 10-20 half-finished clay
figures lying around.
  
I frequently display my work in various galleries, craft fairs, street
fairs, science fiction and fantasy convention art shows, as well as on
 my site. I have received several awards, and recently I designed and
built 4 large steel mobiles for the film John Carpenter's Ghosts of
Mars.
  
In spite of this, I am still the poster child for the "starving
artist" stereotype... it's a good thing my wife loves me so much!
  
If you are interested in seeing examples of my work, please visit my
web site at: http://www.arbitrarydesign.com .
 
The site is presented in a Flash animated format and is graphically 
intensive, with an average page size of 172kb. It may take a few 
moments to load on a dial-up modem, but I hope you will find it worth
the wait. I have spent the better part of a year learning the programs
(Swish, RealDraw Pro, Photoshop, etc.) and developing the site, and I
hope you will find it enjoyable.
 
If you have any questions, comments or commissions (hint hint), please
feel free to email me or respond directly to this post. I look forward
 to your feedback.
 
Cheers!

...but not ASCII art? Obviously not. Marketing troll.
