Hey, Ron,
I remember those were in the tribute booklet with my permission and accurately credited. It's all good. My little slice of CAS-related immortality.
I've never seen so many photos of the sculptures in one place before. It's astonishing stuff. I have something I picked up at a Flea Market in Marin many years ago, a polished greenish rock sculpted to look like a fat-lipped, somewhat Tsathogguan divinity. There were two for sale, and the seller explained they were Guatamalan hearth gods. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn it was a lost Smith artifact, it bears such strong resemblance to some of his creatures. I've never seen any of these since, by the way. I highly prize the one I have. I'd be curious if anyone knows more about Guatamalan hearthstones.
