Soon the self-made artist was creating sculptures for Warner Brothers and Disney, but he kept a local bent on his work -- one piece, for example, features Bugs Bunny standing beneath the famous Las Vegas welcome sign. And collectors and curious visitors can visit the factory and get a first-hand view of the creative process.
