Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

The next 3 art festivels that I will be in are of my photography. So I thought I would make a side table to put my business cards and postcards on. This way I can show people what they can look forward to seeing from me.

My objective is to use images that look as though they are memories of the past and I have to say that everything I have tried so far is a disapointment.
I hope to look into using resin next.
