Big Bird (a life-size extinct Elephant Bird), Sasquatch, Harley the Rhino, Dunes the Camel, When Pigs Fly the Natural Way and When Pigs Fly –They Will Fly a Fighter Jet.

Dale’s sculptures are available for sale and lease. In addition, he offers three traveling exhibits: The Lewis & Art Exhibition, Scraposaursand Scrap to Sea. These exhibits emphasize the importance of recycling and encourage viewers to look at items that are thrown into landfills in a whole new way. The exhibits are available to museums, arboretums, aquariums, sculpture gardens and zoos. Dale is also interested in providing themed public installations whenever and wherever possible.
