Thinking Small:

I am in a small mind today. It is all the fault of Sergio Aragones. I had a subscription to Mad Magazine when I was a younger kid and the first thing I always did when Mad showed up in my mailbox was read all the corner Sergio comics. I still try to do that today when I find a Mad at the news-stand but my eyes aren`t up to the task.

So what set me on this Aragones chain of thought today? I`m glad I asked me. I just started working in silver (see below) and I was going through boxes of small things with an eye to casting some of them in silver when I found a pewter figure of Sergio from a Groo The Wanderer set I got 20 some years ago.



That got me thinking of other small sculptures like the 40 year old Doc figure that belongs to my wife.



My all time fav is this 3 headed giant from Pal Partha that was taken off the market when the estate of one of the 3 Stooges objected. These are very rare and I understand IP law but it is a miniature masterpiece and I wish they could have worked something out and kept them on the market. You can tell there is a lot of love in the detail of the Stooge faces.



My symbol / Trademark in silver. Well those are my small minded thoughts for the day.
