Lots of options there. Bruce Le Page comes to mind.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

  John Shippers, he wrote the book.  Get his book and pick out what you like---lots of great examples.

Chuck Edwards
I have also been very impressed with Chuck,s english work. He's a helluva artist and engraver. I must say all of the other above choices are good ones too.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
