Enjoyed poking around your website. You do nice work. One question though. Where did that curly hair go that you had when you taught Art Class at Pennville School?!?! Oh wait, that was a few years ago! Take care.
Yes, I like them. HORMANN is #1

Nicesite!!!
I always enjoy visiting your site. You are very talented.
I'll stop and look someday.
Hi Kolok, Just thought I'd drop you a line. Things are looking good. Keep me posted on new shows at KWC. I'd like to come!
Dear artist , i hope you wil be OK everyday, i see your work , good ,iran
I really enjoyed checking out the progress shots on your sculpture in the park, Randy Hunt
I like your making a public sculpture. That took persuasive ability to get the cooperation and artistic and technical ability to get the sculpture done. This has done a lot for sculpture. Pat
Bill, please remove fiona from your guest book. Having hits on your site does nothing to promote fiona as an artist. regard rob
Very primitive yet sophisticated. Is that the aim?. Care to exchange links? ARTOPP lists Best Regards Toot Willowbean www.artopp.net
This is a great website and your works are wonderful...really beautiful and interesting. Perhaps one day you'll do some sculpture for my town!
I'm a great fan of sculptures myself. Even in my professional life as a marketing manager of BuySculpture.com Contemporary Sculpture Shop (www.buysculpture.com). I must admit I have enjoyed this site very much!
Wonderful
Some great elevated forms - keep up the stonework. denis@firak.com
My expectations were exceeded by its beauty.
I am impressed with your work and I am doubly impressed with the amount of work you display on the website. You have been "hard at it"!!!
Very nice. I especially like "Corner of Time" and "Wilbur."
Thank you very much for posting your work on the internet. I enjoyed it immensly and as a budding artist I found it extremly inspiring. Mike McMillin
Professor Kolok, I was just browsing the KWC site and found this... very impressive!! Do you remember when you lived on Miller Court? We used to be neighbors when I was little! Kelly
I liked the works, especially the wll cross.Uhmmm very intersting. My husband is also a sculptor and he works on stones he has won the prize of the Iran contemporary Art Meusum in 2000.
Bill, I have many good thoughts about your work over the years, there is strength and peace or tranquillity at the same time. You have one wonderful piece in wood that resides at Viterbo University, LaCrosse Wisconsin, that I really like.
loved seeing your new work. your wood peices are really fabulous....
kolok: I hope all is good. Pat McFarling will recieve a DVD,"The Space between Life and Death to use as an art reference for the library learning center. The DVD is my latest artwork. Scott
Excellent work! A joy to see!
Enjoyed the cyber gallery experience! I look forward to seeing you in Owensboro again some day.
Oops! I forgot to add a comment about the Wall of Crosses. I always think its neat that a couple of my small crosses made it into the Community Cross.
Bill, I was looking at the Webs4Friends web site and ending up looking at several they had created. Yours was on there so I stopped by for a few minutes, in the middle of a busy day, to look around. Good web site! - Although I wish some of the pictures were taken in a brighter light as they were difficult to see properly. As you know I love the pear series! Especially the one that had the sticker from a real pear on it. But my favorite one is the Birch Pear. I don't think I ever properly thanked you for showing the boys and I around the Ralph center when we came by to look at your exhibit. I may have been more impressed than they were as I know you were shutting down for the night - and I for one am always ready to go when its time to go. So once again thanks for giving us an after hours tour.
Mr. Kolok, Indeed, a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife! Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Congratulations on the opening of "The Regionalists" at the Owensboro, KY Art Museum. I encourage all to see it. Your works are delightful! Best wishes for continued success! Andy & Pearapet
HI PROFFESER KOLOK, THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL IT HAS REALLY HELPED US AT SCHOOL,WE THINK THIS SITE IS REALLY HELP FULL. THANKS AGAIN LIAM,HANNAH AND SAM

I am interest for statue for cementary. please let me know if i we sent you photo you can do?? also give me idea the cost. best regads and many thanking in advance Melas / director
i like the wall of crosses. hello from your parents.
Breathtaking, inspirational, intriguing Leaves one wanting to see these pieces in person (middle school teacher -- not an artist -- but a lover of art)
Hello Dr. Kolok, I have enjoyed browsing your site. Lovely work. My gallery partner here in NM has taken to stone carving and attends the Indiana Limestone Symposium each year. The large piece on your home page got my attention. I am an oil painter and will also be exhibiting at the Florence Biennale next year. It will be nice to view your work in person and to get to meet you there (I hope). If you have been before and care to share any suggestions with me I would be forever grateful. Very nice site. Best Regards
Hi: I am an Ahnell and am interested in the Ahnell Sculpture. Could you give me a history about it? Thank you
not bad, ;)
I am a small time sculptor in Australia and very much alone in some way because I see your beautifully finished work and I cant get any info on finishing techniques for marble, granite, soapstone. Can you help and point me to a book or some specific info on how to bring these stones to a fine sheen - if you have the time? Much appreciated Denis www.firak.com
Not bad, Professor Kolok! :o) Keep in touch!
Hey, thats my name!(megan Ling)you thief. lol!!!*** Megan
I think your smaller crafts oriented work is far superior and personal and perhaps you should continue within that area. Your stone sculpture pieces are much less successful and look too derivative (think Arp).If you have a degree I would guess it's in Ceramics or crafts.
hello great sculpture dr kolok i,m sculptore from egypt i,m very interested your work sculpture please you can send any information and i,hope to shar next biennale 2003 beas regards prof mansour el mansy assiut university egypt
Hey! Professor Kolok, looks like you have been working hard. Still carving stone I see. I really liked the wooden 'Pear' series. A friend in Louiosville e-mailed me about an upcoming exhibit your having and it listed your web site in the article. It was good to see you and your work again. Nice web site too! Do you still keep in touch with Mona? I wuould like to see her again.
I did a general search on lycos.com for "clay sculpture". I loved your gigantic, white stone works; excellent!!! Also, Tabernacle...cutting edge, and yet so substantive! I also loved your innovative clay/wood pieces. Keep up the excellent work!
What a beautiful web site! Sure enjoyed seeing your art work. Would love to own one of your pieces. Jean Earle
Hi Dad, I just thought of you tonight while surfing the web adn thought I would drop by and see how everything was. And as always, you new pieces are great. I love knot pear, it is one of my fav pear peices. I love you. Paige
I'm interested in taking classes with you. Is that possible? Your sculptures are wonderful! Maritza
Hey Mr. Kolok, I like ur web page. That one sculpture is sweet.
"Dr." Kolok, I just wanted to tell you that I thought that your sculpture "Font" is awesome. andy
Mr. Kolok this site has been thoroughly enjoyed by myself and I will enjoy visiting it more in the future. Your sculpture's at the Park are amazing. I'm so sorry I missed you when you were doing them. I also enjoyed and very much appreciate your wooden cross works. They are beautiful. Keep up the fine work.
Very nice Professor Kolok. It's cool that you can do that with stone.
Hi Mr. Kolok. I looked at your work and enjoyed Font and Cross for the Hungry. Are two of the crosses named after your kids???? That's really special. Well, just letting you know I took a peak at your site and that I'm enjoying your class. Julie
I like what you did with the pear series. The idea was very creative and unique. My favorite piece is the pear cart. I think it's neat how you took two pieces of fruit and made them resemble human figures on a bench. I also like the library pears even though I really didn't understand it. For the next couple of days, I will be thinking of fruit in a whole new light. I really enjoyed your website. Christie Martin
I really liked the pear series, very unique. I have never seen anything like it. I have always enjoyed art, where the main subject was fruit. Using pears was a cute idea. My favorite piece would have to be the "pear cart". The pears look so happy together!! Very creative! I was not sure about the "pearapet" piece, I dont understand what it is. The whole pear series is really great, I think I may look at pears differnetly from now on! And if I had some money I would buy a piece of the series!!
Your work is awesome, you are very talented. I am impressed, considering your illustrations in class!(ha ha)I like Willy.
Hey professor kolok I'm in your art survey class and i really liked you work. I really liked the Green Navel. Of course i don't think i could every afford one of those sculpture.
hey professor kolok! i didn't know you were this talented. haha. Natasha
Hey, I am from your art survey class. I looked through each of your sites. It is very interesting. I love things that are different. Someday I want to fix up my house with lots of unique art pieces. I would most definetly have to make a great deal of money to afford art work like I want. I liked Little Nell.
I'm in your art survey class. I'd like to hear why your sculptures are named what they are. For example: Little Nell, Eddy. I think it's great that you are putting art in Owensboro for all to see.
Please send the details regarding the availability of stonescupturs in India.
Hi Bill: We just talked on the phone about Roger Seal's granite workshop in Santa Fe. I just visited your site and enjoyed looking at all of your work. Hope to hear from you soon. Toni
Hey Dad. Just looking around the new improved web site. Looks great. It's a little embarresing for a techic type son to have both parents own cooler websites than his. ( I'm even sure I still have one) Anyway looks good, and don't catch all the fish. Love Damon
FROM THE ARTIST.... Hello Colleen, The way commissions work for me.... I am contacted by the buyer, we talk over the space, price, size and material.... I then design 3 or 4 models..... we talk again and decide on which one, if any, the buyer likes. I make a final model, if we both think the piece will work I get 1/3 of the total cost and then I make the piece. When nearly complete the buyer comes in and we look at the piece and agree it is on track [or make adjustments]... I get 1/3 of the cost then I complete and install the piece, collect the final 1/3 and the piece is finished As far as tools for limestone, I use a pitching tool and 5lb hammer first, then a diamond cutting blade 9",6" and 4 1/2 " and then carve with an air tool until finished.... I usually end with a texturing tool or power sander [air] and finish the piece. Enjoyed talking with you and hope you enjoyed my work. Kolok
Enjoyed the website. I wanted to know more about commissioned opportunities. I'm sure others would too. Mind telling me your tool of choice? (On Indiana Limestone, that is)
Being the owner of your world famous " COAL MINERS REGION " I have the following to suggest to other potential buyers of your wonderful art sculptures. Make sure that if you purchase one of these fine works of art that you get all the pieces. The excellent work that I have is a wooden piece that arches ( Church archs ) over two pieces of coal. Having purchased this fine piece or should I say traded it for a case of beer 30 years ago, I am still waiting for the two pieces of coal and for you to personally install them. When you go to my web site you will notice that Nancy and are in southern California. Also remember that 30 years ago around Thanksgiving time you were in our wedding. Bill, we are excited that your work has gained so much popularity, so please come and complete the work you started over 30 years ago. Love, Dudley & Nancy
Website looks great. It is a nice overview of Bill's work and shows off the many facets of his talent.
FROM THE ARTIST.... Thanks for the latest comments , for those who don't write I can say I really do enjoy the comments I get. It is one of the small pleasures in life to hear from someone who has spent sometime looking at my Art.. Thanks... And Ben thanks for the note I'll email you personally but it IS nice to hear other artists struggling and loving the creative process.... keep it up..... Nancy, nice to hear from you also. Joan and I and Paige certainly enjoyed meeting you and Steve and hope to see you next year..... Tell Steve he needs to get a web site.. soon.. My good friends at Webs4Friends.com would be happy to help him get started. They are good people and know how to talk to artists about tech stuff.. Take care all and please continue to look at my site .. We are updating and adding some new work ... so keep in touch... Kolok
i am from melb australia and sculpt limestone aswell i have a small collection of my own but just cant fit the time in to be out in the shed all the time, but i think it is the greatest buzz to finish a piece and then stand back and look at it and say "HOW THE F**K DID I DO THAT !" any way i think your work is great and is great to see other artists over the world posting it on the net. keep up the good work *** THE STRUGGLING ARTIST - ben
i am from melb australia and sculpt limestone aswell .i was influenced by a fella called Jason Monet , who is the grand nephew of the great man Claude Monet. When i was young i used to go over to visit his daughters but easily was far more interested in Jasons chisels and stone. i have a small collection of my own but just cant fit the time in to be out in the shed all the time, but i think it is the greatest buzz to finish a piece and then stand back and look at it and say "HOW THE F**K DID I DO THAT !" any way i think your work is great and is great to see other artists over the world posting it on the net. keep up the good work *** THE STRUGGLING ARTIST - ben
Hi, I love your website. Steve and I are at a friends office visiting. He just got back from Cullowhee, NC teaching a masters class. He stopped by on his way back to Nashville. Take care, Nancy
FROM THE ARTIST To all the people who saw the Berry article.... It has been wonderful hearing from all of you and thanks for taking the time to write. One part of every piece an artist does is from his or her history and each of you helped blend the work I am doing now . I hope anyone who views my site and has a connection to me will pass it along and take some credit for its development. My art is part of my collective past. Kolok it is a pleasure to hear from each of you thanks so much......Kolok
Bill, it is good to visit your website and see your work. It's always good to read news of you in the Berry Chronicle. I hope you and yours are doing well. Best wishes, Marlyn Morgan (BC 1969)
Bill, I didn't recognize you without your curly locks and the facial hair!! Impressive works and a wonderful variety of projects. Of course, I am not surprised. I knew you had it in you!! Slagg
Hi Bill: I read about your commission in the Berry College Web site. I really like your work. Harriet Stuckey, 1970C
FROM THE ARTIST Thanks John for the note I agree that it looks different at night .. The texture really is excited by the dark and light of the shadows and it makes a more complex piece. I hope to have another piece up in the same park soon.. Thanks again Kolok
Bill, great web site,also enjoyed watching your progress at the sculpture park. When the lights are on it takes on a whole new look. John
FROM THE ARTIST Thanks Brandon, I currently have 3 pieces at the Owensboro Art Museum in the Regionalists show and of course several outdoor works around . If you ever get to town check them out. Thanks for the note Kolok
nice sculptures :) :) maybe one day i'll get to see them in person!
Paula, Thanks for the good words. I hope to update this web site soon and include my latest work.
I just checked your pages and they are better than ever! What an awesome display! I was impressed!
FROM THE ARTIST Hi Ed, Thanks for coming by. Jim knows so many people because he is constantly trying to find somebody to laugh at his corny jokes. I hope to update this site soon so drop by again and see what else I'm doing thanks for the interest. Kolok
For a former Marine, Jim knows a lot of people. Where does he meet all these people? I will visit your page regularly.

Bill, I really enjoyed looking at your work on this web site. I work at the Blood Center and have enjoyed talking to you about your work. A couple of us are interested in taking a work shop of yours if you could let us know when they are. Keep up the good work. Bobbie
Bill, Your sculpture looks different every time I see it. The sunlight or cloudiness makes it take on different personalities. Thanks again for letting me "carve" on it--that was fun! Owensboro is fortunate to have such an accomplished artist living and working here. My very best to you and your family always, Margaret
Bill: I stopped today and admired the piece at lunchtime. As usual -- I am drawn to touch it, and I enjoyed the surface and the dimensions. I appreciate the fact that, like an Henri Moore piece, it always makes me want to look again from yet another perspective. It's a startlingly apparent addition to the cultural scene, and provides a welcome balance to the OMFA corner. Congratulations on a job well done. Jim
FROM THE ARTIST I finished the piece, which is called 'CORNER OF TIME", yesterday and had planned to do a final photo shot late yesterday afternoon but cloudy weather and than rain washed out that idea. I will try again for at least one more series of photos of the finished piece. Let me also say Thank you to all the people who came to my web site and looked at this piece. Thanks also to all the people who wrote in this comment page , it was interesting to hear from you and read your reactions to the work in progress. I will keep this section of my site up and will continue to watch for comments and certainly would love to hear from all of you. If you know of anyone who might be interested in my site pass the site along. I have enjoyed my sabbatical very much and plan to continue to make art for this sculpture park and hopefully will get the opportunity to do large works for other cities . Thanks again for all the encouragement ..... Kolok
looks good dad. can't wait to see it
Hi Bill, just looked at your web site--very professional. I hope it brings in all the business you can handle. Good luck. Jim (Paula's father).
Jacob and I looked at the site. He looks forward to coming to visit Owensboro and seeing the completed work.
I didn't think that Jim could fish
I wish you will in your life and continued sucess in the persuit of your dreams, I do not have to wish you good friends because you alresdy have the best friend available in that area, Jin Naas. I don't know you that well and have only met you once but if Jim speaks well of you I know I can come to call you friend. I may be interested in your crosses of wood designs that you create. May love of the wood and may love for the Lord are well reprsented in the works I have seen. Respectfully your, Jeffrey P. Couper
Dear Bill, I am a speech-language pathology friend of Jim Naas from California (Bay Area). I very much enjoy sculpture, so he suggested that I visit your website. What an interesting pursuit, this sculpture park of yours! I imagine it will be most fulfilling to see the sculpture completed and appreciated by the folks of Owensboro for years to come. I don't know if you have ever visited Northern California, but your sculptures would be very well-received in Big Sur and Carmel.These small communities, both nearby each other, are artist's havens. You should plan a trip to visit the area someday and chat with the artistic community. (Both areas, especially Big Sur on the Pacific Ocean, are also very scenic.) I'll look forward to returning to the website in a month or so to see how your sculpture is progressing. Patti Solomon-Rice
Bill - I am interested in your work. There is an garden art gallery opening in an 8-acre landscaped nursey in May in Utica, Indiana, across the river from Louisville. Send me an e-mail if you are going to be in the area and I will get you directions. Penny McGinty
LVAA recommended your site. Glad I visited. Good idea, great work, hope I get to see it completed. Mary
Hey! This is the very first home page that I have seen. What a great beginning. It is great to be able to SEE some of your life. Thanks for taking time off from your life to share some of our life. Keep up the good work. I think your work is incredible. CREATE! Does it get much better? Love, Robin
Dad, the site looks so good. The piece is really coming along, it loooks so nice, are you pleased how it is going? I might come home to see it this weekend, I love you. Paige
Looking good, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing the sculpture park over Easter.
From the ARTIST. I will be taking the next 10 days off . So if you don't see me at the sight don't worry I'll be back around the 25 or 26 of March It should take me about a week to finish the piece. Thanks for your interest kolok
From the ARTIST, Thanks for the comments and I am very happy that so many people like the crosses. Jarrod and Robert, thanks, I hope you continue to look at and for Art .... Joshua, thanks for the comment, I hope you still like my work when you are old. Keep on looking at everything and deciding for yourself what is pretty and/or interesting to see. Paige, don't worry about me, if I have a piece of art to work on I'm happy and the harder the work the more fun I am having. Love, Dad
Dad, it looks great! I am so impressed, you have really worked quickly, I am so proud of you. Remember to keep having fun. Love you Paige
your work is good i like the crosses . jarrod like them all.
I think that your artwork is the best artwork I have ever saw in My whole life. And i can't really tell you which piece of it is the best.Because i really think all of the pieces you made are Excellent and are fine pieces of artwork to me.
i liked the cross the best.
Hey Will,It is coming along nicely...I love the pears...what fun. My favorite is the pear cart...It was great to talk with you and Joan and I'm glad to see that the guest book is back up and running. I wonder if my friend has seen your work...if I can I will try to find out. Keep up the good work and the innovations...I think it's all great. J.
FROM THE ARTIST, HI SON, the surface will be rough. If you look at the latest picture [March 8} you can see the top of the piece has the finished surface on it already. I am pretty happy with that surface and when the sun hits it the face planes become charged with light and shadow, real coool. See you soon love DAD
Bummer about the guest book. The piece looks good. What sort of surface are you planning of putting on the stone Is it all going to be rough, smooth, somewhere in-between ? Can't wait to get home and see it. Love D
From the ARTIST, I believe that I am within a week of being finished. I will be leaving for several days next week but I am confident that I will be close to completion on this piece. k
From the ARTIST Due to problems we lost many of the guest book comments for that we are sorry but once again it proves that "when words fail sculpture still stands" It has gotten cold again and I am working on redefining the pionts ,surfaces and planes, all the big work is done but the pulling together of all the pieces is now here. It is time consuming and boring but necessary. k
The Guest Book is working again, sorry for any inconvenience.
Prof. Kolok: Great work and great site. Within the scupltures, creativity and uniqueness abound. I enjoyed viewing the crosses. My favorite was the window. I did not realize you were a theologin! |
