Most people who recognize me probably know me only as wizzard. I do have a real name. The evolution of a nickname. Wizards of the past, and perhaps the future.

Been an artist all my life. Just started to call myself one a couple decades ago. What do you do with a 10 gallon acquarium full of pencils? Or several 5 gallon buckets of empty nitrous oxide containers? A normal person looks for a place to sell or dump them. An artist turns them into something. Thus started A Thousand Things. The girls in very rough time order.

Art Party San Jose 24 Sep 2016. No burning man project this year. Click image above to see blog post on their site about my wife Gwen and I who are building and decorating a great sbig hole. The art in the Pavilion Gallery.

They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Take a look at some of my past projects.

Go to the unfinished thoughts. The text that goes here is a quick 2 or 3 line summary of what someone is likely to see if they click on the more link to follow. Atention getting color to finish this off. List of things to say here.

The galleries were my first attempt at organizing this site. And are sort of remnants of the past. A remnant of old structure. Look around the site and find many more examples of the types of art that began in these pages. Making art is the way I learn. Before it was easy, I liked making 3D images. I call myself an artist, but I really enjoy design.

Was one of the few site on the internet to get reasonable quality images of the earth for free. Found my site in the top 20 for many years. A little selection of globes images.

What an arrogant section title! Beware those claiming they bring knowledge. That said, I started wizzard. com over 15 years ago, at least in part, to pass on some of the knowledge I gathered from teaching and some of the workshops I went to while teaching. I keep hoping that a magic solution will come along that will eat the books and notes I have in my library a crap out intelligible files in html and organized into sub directories. Anyone got one of those yet? The text .

2228 year or so after Archimedes is said to have destroyed an attacking Roman naval fleet using mirrors, we will bring the Sun Tower to the playa and try to set it on fire the same way. I am very proud of how they came out and want to thank Cary McHugh for all the metal work he did as well .
