MOTHMAN LIVES ! MOTHMAN LIVES !
“Mothman”, as the creature came to be called, is perhaps
one of the strangest
"sightings" in America. Many people have claimed to see
Mothman near Point
Pleasant in WV and there are many web sites that go into detail
.... so I wont.
As for me... I think the beautiful stainless steel sculpture made by
Robert
Roach is reason enough to visit Point Pleasant WV and see what real
talent
is all about. While you may not consider a whimsical creature to
be "real
art".. just try to make ANYTHING out of impossibly hard stainless
steel, and
then get back to me! This sculpture and all of it's whimsical
fantasy would
easily bring $50 thousand to $75 thousand in larger cities. More
fascinating
is the fact that Robert is just a "good ole boy" retired from the power
company
with never an art class of any type.

THIS EXTRAORDINARY WORK:

| This is another example of Robert Roach's talent as an artist. You are looking at a hobby horse made for a child, his daughter actually. Can you imagine owning this for all your future generations until the world ends? Unlike wood, this is meant to be used hard for hundreds if not thousands of years! It also would make a wonderful centerpiece for any horse lover or business place. |
| And
this is the full sized horse that Bob made. Look at that detail, and
made from one of the hardest metals to work with. Later, after Bob made
the horse, he decded to make a statue of his daughter and placed her on
top. I dont know where this horse is today. |
| This is the house Bob lived in with the
shed on the right where Bob created all his magic. |
