What he is doing is relief sculpture with an unusual medium. Does it really matter what his motives are? When an artist does a commission piece, are they motivated by inspiration or money? And if it is money, is it any less art? If you believe it is less art, then of course the Sistine Chapel ceiling would fall under this. Poor Michelangelo, and many turn of the century masters as well. I’d say art is his passion. What he is doing is relief sculpture with an unusual medium. Does it really matter what his motives are?

What I've learned (painfully, at times) is that what may be a "brief" search interlude for one person is a total time suck for another. Her images got a lot of viral marketing, but with misinformation and nothing to click, the artist loses. And... it looks as if Camille Allen has learned what to do: http://www.camilleallen.com/camille_allen3.htm Thanks, Bonnie, for taking the time to search.
