Sculpture Title: Time Flies
Artist Statement: In a question as old as time, the Band of Misfit Boys asks: How much would you pay for a clock sold by flies?
Team Members:
-
Keith Pliml (Captain): Keith has been sculpting for over 20 years. He has competed in Nationals, Illinois State, and in Quebec City over that time. My fondest memory is from the 2015 competition. We were lucky enough to sculpt next to Dave Andrew's team. It was a blast and an amazing learning experience. That year we placed 2nd behind him and it was an absolute honor and one of my favorite memories.
-
Man-Bear (Dan Berry): Dan Berry, only known as Man-Bear during snow events, has been sculpting for 15 years. He has competed in Nationals with 2nd and 3rd place wins in 2015 and 2016 respectively. He has also sculpted in Illinois State, Quebec City, Nebraska, and other various events. Man-Bear's fondest memory of Lake Geneva is making snow angels with Matt Seeley (Team Nebraska) after jumping out of the hot tub.
-
Drake Perez: Drake has been sculpting for 8 glorious years. In his downtime he hangs out with his beautiful wife, Melissa, plays video games, and makes sure the Forest Hills Country Club has enough vodka to function. His fondest memory of Lake Geneva was staying at the Bella Vista with all the teams. Being able to meet everyone and visit with the other sculptors really brought the comradery out in everyone. Being able to bond in a short amount of time with such a unique community of people is amazing.
