Russ, are you the guy I'm looking for? I want a sequence of simple drawings, that will comprise a music video. I like your work. If you like mine, let's talk.

Admin reply: Hi Alan, I think you are looking for a guy who has room in his schedule to take on a new project. Thanks for the offer and gracious words, though!

Hi Russ,

I like your sketching very much! Thanks for sharing and thanks a lot for the sketching book, it is really good, both for learning and for inspiration and encouragement.

I want to try to replicate your thermoforming setup and I have a couple of questions, if I might:

1) Where did you get the screen/perforated metal sheet for the vacuum box? Did you do it or bought it?

2) What do you use for the wood to make the palette molds? It looks like it could be balsa wood! Is that it?

Thanks in advance for your help and info!!!
Best Regards,
Carlos

Admin reply: Hi Carlos,

I just bought a sheet of metal with those holes already in it. I have seen wood panels with similar holes, so you might be able to find something locally or on the web. The wood for the molds was cheap soft wood. I think balsa may be too soft, but I have never tried it.

Good luck!

Hello Russ, I stumbled across your site while doing a Google search, and it's a joy to see all your talent. Thanks so much for your link to my interview on Marcus Grodi's The Journey Home -- and welcome home!

Pax et bonum,

Kevin

Admin reply: Hello Kevin, well, now we have a celebrity post on this board. Or shall I say "superhero?" In addition to the Journey Home testimony, just read a version of your testimony a few days ago over at the Why I'm Catholic site, so this is a happy surprise.

Thanks for the encouragement!

hi Russ,I was looking at the stutler family tree and now am curious about my stutler bloodline.I can remember my grandpa reading me the stutler/stettler book to me when i was younger but he passed when i was in the fourth grade. I'm now twenty nine and feel a great wanting of knowing my family history. I remember my grandpa saying his aunt or someone to that nature was native american. any feed back or additional info or websites would be greatly appreciated. my great grandparents where Kenneth and Grace Stutler of west milford,wv and that is as far back as i know.

Admin reply: Hi Justin,

Glad to hear from a distant relative. All the info I have on the family tree is already posted on this web site but there is a Stutler family web site where all the family researchers are in one place. Lots of photos and data. I'll send you membership info by e-mail.

Thanks Russ, here is our website for new psalms and hymns:
www dot newkirkpsalmshymns dot weebly dot com

As you will see the psalms are metrical. Also have a few rounds for children...but Psalm 116 is a canon using Tallis Canon. Have some service music too.

Our denominational sister church is Mitaka Evangelical Church, the Pastor is Rev. Ralph Smith...ever happen to meet?

Btw, love your artwork!

Blessings,

Pastor Brian L. Penney

Admin reply: Great web site, and a great idea to gather the work of various composers in one place. I know Mitaka (the city) but have not had the honor to meet Rev. Smith (as far as I can recall). Thanks!
