I love the glasses, the monkey is cool but by the time you get to the base it seems a little aimless, he needs legs, a tractor assembly, or even a wheel chair would look kinda threatening.
The trumpet has a good feel, it flows and looks like it came from a different time line.

It certainley would be cool to add a tractor aasembly or wheelchair to the monkey for sure, but that's far beyond my skill level to create something like that at this time. For now it's just "art for art's sake". It's only function is to try to elicit an emotional response from those who gaze upon it.
Art is never "done" but it can be abandined.

Ask any artist or craftsman and I'm sure they would agree.with me. I was also wondering, what exactly do you mean by "it can be abandoned", Sir?
There is always a bit more to be added, something to be revised because the old one just doesn’t work as well as the new bit. All works are in progress untill the muse distracts you to new lands that are even more interesting.
