After SHS I spent several years at NYU and then moved Upstate to a commune on the Vermont border. I spent three years there learning to be a potter, playing guitar, building, welding, making molds, etc. In '76 I spent a year in the bay area of California and began seriously sculpting. I came back , got married, built a house in the woods, got into bronze, had three fantasic boys (now 11,16, and 19) and settled into small town life. I was selling my work mostly through galleries in NY and Boston. I've always kept playing music in one band or another (the current incarnation is "Wasted Youth").
I moved to Boulder, CO in '91, ostensibly for 2 years, but trials, tribulations, and divorce have kept me here. I've had a license with the Grateful Dead for about 14 years and was supplementing sculpture by making cast brass buckles and some motorcycle parts. After my divorce I put more energy into making that business real, and have branched out with it, concentrating on Harley parts. I've been working with Vietnam Vets organizations and the SEVA Foundation as well as the Dead and I make lots of custom parts. For a couple of years there I wasn't doing much sculpture, but I've been able to get back to it more and more, lately. If you're interested in checking out some of my sculpture (or if you need cool custom parts for your Harley) you can check out my website at www.pangal.com or e-mail me at bob@pangal.com. I hope you are all happy and well.
