Wood and Findings
These carvings I made from Palm Petioles I removed from a tree in out yard. When I was cleaning these dead pieces from my tree, they asked me to bring them back to life.. The big one is about 8 feet tall. They are varnished / teak oiled as well so, they will last a very long time. I carved the faces out with various tools and used a torch from behind for contrast. The material is pretty tough actually, far tougher than I expected. I did a bit of a red wash on Kapu and went with the character of the wood on the other two. I will be painting on a couple of these soon, probably Florida native fish.
These are the first three I have made. Latest on the top and the first one I made (Kahoni) on the bottom. Now all I need is a Tiki Bar!
Name of this one is: Pualala Malu (Sudden loud outcry of peace)
Kapu ( Sacred, taboo, forbidden, no trespassing)
Kahoni (the kiss)
Time
Time is too short to forget what has passed,
Times is too wide to cross and come back,
Speaking words that remain un- spoken,
Dreaming the dreams that you have woven,
All I need is time,
All we need is time.
Always reading backwards to learn something new,
It seems like the words always circle back to you,
Reading words that remain un-spoken,
Dreaming the dreams that you have woven,
All we need is time,
All we need is time.
The shoes I have chosen are void of a path,
For I have traveled that highway and I almost made it back,
The roads less traveled and some that I made,
Are a part of that person that you once embraced,
All I need is time,
All I need is time.
Writing words that remain un-spoken,
Dreaming the dreams that you have woven,
I’ve enjoyed this time,
Always love your time.
The Sketch
The Sketch
Within two dimensions there hides a third,
ones true reflections are observed,
no lies exist when a visions heard,
for there is no death in a canvas world.
Hearts tormented lie in a pool,
eventually sinking with the other fools,
still grasping for what caused their demise,
love and passion without cold and wise.
Scratching emotions onto a page,
unrestricted by conformity’s rage,
colors bloom in black and gray,
attempting to express what you cannot say.
Within these visions lies a void,
for interpretations often destroy,
desires to express instead of hide,
the true relevance of what’s been confided.
Within two dimensions there dwells a third,
only acknowledged by the few absurd,
dwelling in expression not illusive needs,
never to capture the eyes of what seems.
Last One Standing
I arrived beneath a gray Ohio sky
embraced by bitter February arms
I was the only to pass through that door
and last to carry on the name
but I paled in her sun of expectation
and I had to create my own.
I’d shown my own sun like she taught me
away from the snow and the glowing autumn trees
into a blue wonder of sand and seas
into a tidal mass of humanity
where nothing is stone
where nowhere is home.
I became fed by a space where my place doesn’t matter
an electrical grid being the ambilical to the gathering
where I drowned in hours of diversion
where I gained monetarily from the conversions
but when I looked to show her, she was gone
under a May rain from the gray Ohio sky.

Shell Of Me
Shell Of Me
I watch as they burn their bridges from childhood to the pain of reality.
Though not up to me to mediate anymore, I do stand on the opposite cliff.
My job is complete as I was the one to incite the striking of the match.
Not too soon as I have nothing left offer, nothing left to steal, nothing left to violate, no advice to be heard, no lessons in the agenda and far be it, another match.
While my losses are seemingly always anothers gain, I have no time left to recover what I have lost. Not monetary losses but, heart, soul and whatever lurks beneath the calluses that have done well to suppress what I have found destructive or emotionally distressing. Built over time I do find it unfortunate that I am now actually incapable of empathy or strong emotions, except rage, for only then am I heard.
Existing where recognition of my achievements have gone even more un-noticed than my presence, I realize I probably should have passed just after completing them.
The question of continuance is always the thought that remains after the rest are truncated as that query is always first out.
A splatter of liquid does remain one dimensional except to the ones who assign meaning to the patterns. To them, colors bloom in black and gray and dimension is just a matter of perspective. That was once me, eyes wide open and a heart of the thinnest glass open to be shattered by a single glance.
What has become of that person is a text that will remain unwritten. Although what I have experienced is severe to most, the mold that formed the shell of me would pale in comparison to millions out there who have suffered far worse. The wretched and debouched or the salt on the food of the obese? There is far more salt and I will refrain from comparing notes with those who have nothing to sprinkle it upon.
So, I am held up in this shack until the bigger guns come take me out. However I believe they will fail and I will become my own demise.

Web Hosting
Web Hosting & Terms
I (James Conzett) have been offering web hosting for over 15 years now. I have been a client of one of the best hosting providers in Florida since 1992 with numerous accounts. My time as a valued client there earns me a substantial discount which can save you a substantial amount of money should you utilize my offerings / services. Additionally, I will set up your account basics (email accounts, databases etc.) and install WordPress at no additional charge! On domain name and hosting services, I am in fact the “middle man” and I set your account up on an account I purchase from my provider and pass my discount on to you. You pay me, I pay my provider, you do not pay my registrar or hosting provider directly. Why do I do this when others charge up to hundreds of dollars?: Performing the basics saves both you time, me time and insures that everything is configured properly. I also set up and manage your domain which will be functioning within four hours for newly registered domains. Beat that.
I do not offer a pricing breakdown because each application dictates different configurations but, I cac get you into a very nice Private Server (VPS) for under $100 a month and a dedicated for under $200 a month. I also offer shared hosting, reseller hosting, developer hosting packages as well as consultation.
Another advantage to utilizing my hosting services:
I manage your monthly and annual fees in case you forget to pay it! Why?:
So many times I have had clients lose their sites because they are just to busy to check their emails and pay their bill. This causes their sites to become suspended or lost completely. This creates work for me, possible total loss of their site and search engine positioning. All are bad. Please read my TERMS below.
My experience in writing code, electronic circuit design and building “computers” begins in the early ’70s. Since 1991 I have been designing websites and have been offering expert S.E.O. services since 1995.
I retain an extensive list of clients past and present from Home inspection services, boat listing services, custom motorcycle builders, animal rescue, seasonal stores and many more.
So, if you need reliable hosting, I can provide it for much less cost than most you will find but, with the added services I provide at no extra cost, you can’t find a better offer anywhere!

My First Frog
6.1 grams of pure 999 fine silver with gold leaf inlay and black powder coat eyes.
My first frog! This one was a custom request and I was challenged as to how to design. “Can you make me a frog” is a pretty broad statement and there are so many ways to run with the design.
This incredible feat of sand casting was a challenge for sure. Getting silver to flow into the legs properly requires a whole lot of vent cuts, I heated the silver a little more than usual and poured as fast as I could. I was ecstatic when I opened the mold to discover there was a result I could actually shape into a nice piece of jewelry.
I made a small rectangular cut on the head, inlayed gold leaf and sealed with crystal clear then, polished to a seamless transition and shine.
I could not figure out what to do with the eyes. I considered drilling them out and inserting black onyx but, too much for such a small dot which, will most likely go unnoticed so, I used powder coat mixed with crystal clear and boy, did that work well because the eyes pop well next to the gold and they are smooth and shiny like the rest of the piece. I am very proud of this item.
Here is a pic I took with the frog on a leaf randomly picked from outside my shop.
