Hola Guys!
During the past couple of months a lot have been going on this end of the keyboard. Back in March I applied for a spot on a TV Show called Texas Ranch House, a part of the different House series from PBS (Frontier House and Colonial House). I didnt really think much of it but when I got an email asking if I would please send in a Video about my self I definately got more intrigued, and I sent the tape in, and about 100 or so pages later of different applications, doctors appointments even a visit to the shrink I have been accepted to be on the program.
We will spend 4 months in southwest Texas living just like they did back in 1867, with absolutely no modern commodities (although I heard we get to bring sunblock...the only link to modern life!!) living like they would have on a cattle ranch. The whole experience will be filmed and then aired (around Jan 06).
Needless to say I am pumped about this, it will be awesome to ride my horse (They let me bring my own horse!!!) on a ranch in the south west working the cows and the ranch, much like the American ancestors did 137 years ago.
I will miss sculpting and painting, but when I get back, I am sure I will be so full of inspiration to work on western subjects that some figures will be produced!
It sucks to miss Tulsa, Expo and Mastercon, but I could not pass this up, this is a once in a life time experience and have always been a dream of mine and it is actually becomming reality.
