Many of today's contemporary artists, rely on the internet, networking and TV for new ideas/ inspiration.
As Texicans, we have an unfair advantage over others regarding the use of designing adjuncts.
Take a dozen greasy, homemade, hogshead tamales, combined with a liberal dose of the agave plant's nectar and the world becomes a "KALIDASCOPE" of images.
The trick is captuing these images before sobering up !
Otto, It's nice to see one of your derringers posted here. Having followed your work for a number of years, I'm sure there are quite a few forum members who may have never seen your engraving.
Thanks for posting it!

I was blown away! i feel a strong south pacific style with a mexican accent. i really love the roses.... as a sufferer of Attention Deficit Disorder (tisk tisk) it satisfies my need to wander around the design and not get bored did i mention i love the roses....
i followed the link to your website and browsed the derringers... but i have a lot of studying to do. thanks for the inspiration.
Ive been too busy during summer, but as the weather starts getting cold again here in Alaska i will be thoroughly recharged and ready to start cutting again this fall....
your site is marked for easy reference in charging my creative energies
