This is an older piece of mixed media artwork that incorporates a flat limestone slab. The slab is articulated with drilled holes (thus the name: Holey Man) and some lines sawn into the surface. I've glued some pin heads into some of the holes as brads/buttons or some such. They provide a shiny counterpoint to the roughness of the stone. The slab has been recessed into the surface of foamcore and copper wires have been extended from some of the holes out onto the pastel paper surface. Also, a beaten copper 'head' shape was added as a focal point on top. The surface of the pastel paper has been patterned by mask-edged pastel rubs in various colors to complete the piece.

I like this stone that I got from around Pueblo Resevoir as it is soft enough to drill and cut with a saw but hard enough to retain its edges and corners. I picked up a bunch of it from there but have never had time to use much of it. I hope to eventually make a lot more of these kinds of pieces to sell on Ebay, the street, door-to-door, on the side of the street at stop lights, etc. I could hold up a sign reading: "For God's sake people - Buy this art!!!"

Well, maybe not.
