About Me

Hi. I'm Frankie Kangas, aka Frankster. I love animals, especially polar bears and cats -- both domestics and big cats. I'm a Calvin and Hobbes and Cabin Fever Art fanatic and a sculptor.

I read, research, write about or sculpt polar bears, fu dogs and cats daily. And enjoy comics and cartoons daily as well.

After a successful career in marketing, I became involved with the online world.

I was introduced to the art world and sculpting in particular in 1999. My sculpture focuses on Lions, Fu Dogs & Bears (OH MY!)

While web development feeds my stomach; sculpting feeds my soul.
