Thanks for that “illustration” answer, Gary.
I am proud to say I own pieces by both Gary Jackson and Anne Gary!

I like the sculptures of Jim Mullan, some of them are kind of steampunkish; others remind me of the work of Geoffrey Gorman.
I have also seen the work of Joe Christensen ( only on the ‘net , though).
I forget how I came across him, but when I went to his site to look today, I had a deja vu!
Last time I looked at his site, he had a picture of forty two of his large pots crated up to go to China, of all places. Now THAT’s a sale!
And Timber Green were just featured on Etsy a few weeks ago, where they confessed admiration For Malcom Davis.
Well, have fun; I used to work in the Mart, but haven’t been in there in fifteen years or so. Someday I shall return.
