Well, this certainly looks like an interesting site.I am an artist, a sculptor , and I usually feel underserved by most art websites, which have an emphasis on computer-based graphics. It is nice to finally find something for fine three dimentional artists. Do you have plans for a contest for, say, original bronze sculpture or alternative/mixed media work? I believe that would be a great success. Thank you for this forum.
