I WILL BE AT THE "BLOOMS DAYS FESTIVAL" AT THE UT GARDENS(ON THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE'S AGRICULTURE CAMPUS) IN JUNE ON THE 28TH AND THE 29TH*** YES, ONE OF MY PIECES "ANVIL FIRE" WAS SELECTED FOR BRISTOL'S 2007 SCULPTURE WALK BUT THEY DID'NT HAVE THE $ TO PAY ME MY STIPEND. APPARENTLY THE SCULPTURES WERE PICKED IN NUMERICAL ORDER AND MY PIECE WAS PICKED 8TH. I NOW KNOW THAT SOME SCULPTURE COMPITETIONS WORK IN THIS MANNER AND WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY THAT DO THIS. "ANVIL FIRE"(ALL BLACK) PICTURED ON THIS PAGE, TOP AND TO THE RIGHT WAS THE ONE THAT WAS PICKED... GOOD ENOUGH FOR BRISTOL TN./VA. OR ANY OTHER CITY FOR THAT MATTER... THIS AREA IS SO FRIENDLY TOWARDS LOCAL ARTISTS. I GUESS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN "ARTS DEGREE" YOUR NOT FOR REAL...... WRONG..... THE WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.......E.J.B. CUSTOM IRON SCULPTURES....
