These days, he’s racing against a tight deadline inside his West End warehouse, working roughly up to 16-hour-days to finish "The Burning Book of Brian," a 14- to 15-foot memorial sculpture. The piece is due in Nevada's Black Rock Desert at the end of the month, for Burning Man, the annual, weeklong creative festival.
