Zenith 'Sporto' - 28800 HiBeat


Here is a watch from my collection.

This one is a Zenith Sporto from the late 1970s.  The case is gold plated and I am looking for a Stainless one to swap the dial and movement to.  At this point in watch history Movado owned Zenith and there are cases that were issued as Movado or 'Allegro' that are 100% spec perfect.  This one keeps excellent time. 





The plating has worn off on the ends of the lugs, it is 40 years old.  This is the 28800 hi-beat movement.  ETA2562

art collection alaska




Here are some pieces I brought back from Fairbanks Alaska on a trip for the Mason's Lodge

These were all crafted by local artists


This one is a bird crafted from a Moose Jaw with turkey feathers


This is a crow etched onto a piece of a baleen whale baleen plate




This is an Ulu, the traditional chopping cooking tool with a handle carved from a moose bone.


I think it is pretty good craft work.  I usually by birds, not whales, even though I know...
actual picture taken by me in Alaska

Here are some pictures of my adventure at the Mason's Lodge:

Montblanc Timewalker - Automatic



Here is a watch from my collection.

This one is a Montblanc  from the late 1990s.   Distinctly remember seeing the ads for this watch back then.






It's like looking in the mirror.  Sometimes I forget which one is me and which one is Nick Cage.

2018 Lego Christmas Tree

This is a large scale Lego project for the Gallery One Resident Artist Show in December of 2018.

I have made a few others....

 These are mostly to recapture my inner child and to entertain the kids who attend Gallery One events and/or take classes.

Check out the note Santa left for me!








Planning stage.  I wanted to try to incorporate some Duplo blocks.

Solid base, check.


Figuring out what a tree trunk could look like.  Kinda Keebler Elf I guess.


Duplo in the center.


Snaking the lights into the tree.
