For the artists: Erwin Christman at work

[Danvarner@aol.com]

Thanks to Brian Switek's  "Laelaps" blog I was introduced to a new page at 
the American Museum of Natural  History website. It's called "AMNH: Picturing 
the  Museum":

You can  spend a lot of time there. I recommend going to "Exhibition Prep" 
for the good  stuff. There's a great photo there of Erwin Christman sculpting 
the life-size  titanothere head still on exhibit at the  museum:

It's really a pity his career was cut off at such an early age, yet he still  
left a great legacy of art. 
The makeshift platform he's  standing on makes me very nervous. DV
