Hidden Artist

Roberto told us about an artist in steel in the little town of Springerville.  Winky decided to find the guy. His creations were fantastic. From railroad spikes, used gears, and even a transmission he had a field full of creations in the space in front of his house. As he saw us looking over his creations he came out and the next thing you new we were deep in conversation. The artist at one time took on sailing. Kadizzle suggested an art project for him. The project would be a human face that you could see gears inside.  Next thing you knew we were in his studio and he was showing us a full sized Hippo that was a version of what Kadizzle had just mentioned. The Hippo from one side looked like a Hippo, but on the other side it was full of gears, and other interesting things.  One of the great pleasures over the years has been visiting the artist in small towns few know of.
