The face a a happy Blacksmith. My team of 18 'smiths and I had just completed building two larger than life sized figurative sculptures in 4 days in Salt Lake City at this year's ABANA conference. An epic undertaking by an epic crew. #jjabana #style #sculpture #artist #collaborate #blacksmith

Just a couple of dudes. #jjabana#nailedit

Another good one from SLC... this is AR-phrodite's hand being adjusted to hold Ares' business card. Both the sculptures we built there were a commentary on the seduction that the US has succumbed to with its fatal attractions.

Hephaestus' crippled knee joint. One of the many amazing parts forged today by the incredible crew I have working with me. #jjabana#joint#janky#twisted
