But the group's home page comes up screwy, superimposed in some parts, and all the links are dead, except this one, with a new age looking magic wall plaque that I do not care about. Can you access the group and read the postings ? (there are only a handfull!) But good info, at least now we know he's a goner (and he WAS, even before he died): "Lewis VanDercar Plaque For Sale ! By the late Lewis Van Dercar of Miami and Tampa Florida. I used to know VanDercar back in the early 70's, before I moved to Colorado. I first met him in Miami and later visited him after he moved to the Tampa area. I attended his Friday night groups in Miami. He was a locally well-known occult surrealist artist and sculptor who billed himself as "Magi" and "Creator". His trademark in sculpture, was the glass eyes. He would put a candle in front of them and they would flicker in the light, giving a very eerie effect. This plaque is called "Magus", which means magician, or the singular of "magi". It has a candle holder on each side at the bottom, to give that flickering effect, and I was thinking you could even aim laser pointers into the eyes from across the room, which would be very cool! It features a black base with silver rubbed-on highlights, for a very eerie effect! It's quite rare now and I don't know how many of them are left in the world. I'm thinking of selling mine, for $100k. This may be the last opportunity to obtain some of VanDercar's rare artworks! ( if you buy this one, I also know of another quite amazing and unique piece! ) Please contact me if you'd like to make an offer on this rare item. Also, we now have a Yahoo Group for discussion of Van Dercar's works." Oh man, just look at the e-mail address of that "group member": [email protected]
