Finding my Muse!

“If your Actions Inspire others to Dream more, Learn more, Do more and Become more, you are a Leader.”
John Quincy Adams

A Painting "found" me that exactly depicts the Whale I've been envisioning for my Sculpture.

This Peaceful Specimen titled "The Devil Whale" by Jen Lobo will serve as Motivation while the Skeleton of a Historically Ferocious Sperm Whale is welded together.

"I think there is something, more important than believing: ...It's Action! The World is full of Dreamers, but there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take Concrete steps to actualize their Vision!"

An Army of Trowels get ready for the Battle! Scooter is the Concrete Genius!

His Creative Mind is a Machine Gun firing out a magazine of Ideas.

He has dedicated many hours to this project including orchestrating 3 cement trucks & a cement pump into my yard!

He gets all the recognition for the implementation.

He is one of the coolest guys I've ever met.

There was a light mist in the air which made it perfect for the Pour! An Incredible bunch of Mud Monkies mucked our way around the Moat. From left to right its "Scooter", Bart, Lincoln, ME, "Sizer", "Bubba" and the pump guy Richard.

So for now I guess Westport has a Skate Park! Stop by and bring your Board! Underneath my dreamlit eyes I am in disbelief from the progress fueled by so many incredible people in my life ! Its too cool to be true!

One year ago I embarked on this adventure!

I can't tell you where I'm going

I'm not sure of where I've been

But I know I must keep travelin' til my road comes to an end

I'm out here on my journey

Tryin to make the most of it

I'm a puzzle I must figure out where all my pieces fit

Get Stoned in Westport!

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

-Henry David Thoreau-

More shoveling. More gravel. More shoveling.

More gravel. More shoveling.

No more gravel...!

A herd of Whales have been feeding in my backyard for 2 days!

Now...the entire base is complete!

...and then the whales left?

Shaping my Future!

Accept the things to which fate binds you,

and love the people with whom fate brings you together,

but do so with all your heart.

- Marcus Aurelius -

--- Please welcome Westports' newest artist... Cliff "Scooter" Fisher

An amazing Cement Sculptor who decided he wanted to live in this spectacular little town on the coast.

At the same time, this so called "reclusive artist" (Carlos Amigos) decides to put all of his free time into this amazing project!

In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.

-William S Burroughs-

A hard days work of shaping and layering the moat with gravel. Marie catered the event with her usual Smorgasbord of Stories. Applause from the ocean came as Whales surfaced to spray and cheer us on!
