BEZALEL

I recently decided that it was about time for me to begin posting and sorting the various works of art which I deem to be the best. This is an on-going process which I will continue to update as I recall and am introduced to those works of art which are the sublime pinnacle of man’s ability to create like his creator.

[I'm working to update this monster of a project. Bear with me.]
