In addition to these two dimensional works I have done, here are a couple of rugby theme sculptures I did as well.

These sculptures are also available... email me for the particulars.

This one, a marble relief I call "In To The Opposition" it is 5/8" thick and 3½" tall and 8" long.

I have just learned how to cast more of these and will have the cast versions on the web site soon.

Whether it's the holiday season or not folk find these Rugby Christmas cards enjoyable.





I started this collection as the Christmas card given from my rugby club (the Valley Kangaroos of Seattle Washington) to the members and supporters.

Over the years there were several that were specific to my club side.

After awhile the Santa VS Snowmen theme started taking front stage year in and year out.

There are now 2 set of 12 unique rugby themed Christmas Cards.
