Last night at the opening of the Monochrome show, Carlos, Brigitte and the good folks at the Fallbrook School of the Arts delivered the new bronze bell that was cast for me. It is a wonderful and heavy bell, with a great rich chime. The work of Foundry Instructor Brandon Roy, my bell is simply unique.
I suggested a different top ring assembly and he came up with a beautiful design that cements the bell's early japanese design influence. The bell was patina'd by the artist Celou Bonnet in a one of a kind verdigris with a dash of underlying purple. The ringer is a nice found object that suits the bell perfectly. We substituted more of the whirling japanese design elements and lost the maltese crosses.
I want to thank all of these artists. You can order your own special bell from Brigitte, the Executive Director of the Arts Campus.

It's a wonderful show. Don't miss it.
I had a nice conversation with the 16 year old photographer. It was so nice to see someone that young represented...and he certainly held his own.
