The Dilemma - 57" High X 17" Wide X 40" Long - $30,000
He represents one of the essences of the human condition - being caught on the horns thereof. My personal actual dilemma in this instance was trying to figure out exactly what a 'Dilemma' might look like. Don't get me wrong. I've got plenty of dilemmas but none that usually come into sharp, clear focus. They usually all settle blurry back into the background, murmuring vague entrities from beyond the event horizon of my consciousness. Fortunately Susan hammered on me long and hard enough, forcing this 'Dilemma' to come into clear focus. He had to be strong enough to bust through the wall of defense that I put up against her entrities to actualize into our Universe but he has indeed arrived.
He is also the dark king in the chess set we've been carving for 30 years. The 29th piece. Three more to go and we'll have a hell of a party. We'll invite everyone who has had the taste, humor and pocketbooks deep enough to buy and live with a Doodleysquat to come. It'll be the chess game of the century. Hopefully played at Bilboa.
'The Dilemma' is fashioned from rare 'Split Mountain Red Alabaster' from the heart of the Anza Borrego Desert in California and High Desert Green Alabaster from the Kodachrome Basin, Utah. The tail and the head horn are precious ironwood roots. The legs, the neckcap and back thorns are carved from High Desert Shaggy Barked Juniper, Arizona. The necklace and penis are Quartz crystals covered with a secondary growth of tiny Amythest crystals. The eyes are a rare form of pure Bismuth crystal clusters.
He's magnificent, quite pleased with himself about being here and happy to perform the service of helping people face all their dilemmas with a certain amount of levity.

Here’s our perspective up front and center – ok? Serious Art Sucks! I mean do you really think that the Great Intelligence cares whether the Large Magellenic Cloud is more beautiful than the Crab Nebula? It’s all about the process, riding the wave, responding to whatever is present. These majestic beings demanded their emergence from the stone. They are transmutational – shift beings, these Doodleysquats, that carry messages of awe from beyond the galactic horizon.
To experience their presence is to be in the WOW (World of Wonder)! What is that? What is it made of? What does it mean? What does it do? What’s its name? Who made it? Why? Carry these questions with you. Keep asking them with everything you do. The questions themselves will open your possibilities. Some people look right past these Doodleysquats, not seeing! Your eyes are open!
The carvings come through both Paul and Susan. Paul is carving the nine billion faces of god! Susan is carving rock spirits. They’re close relatives.
In 33 years, 29 Doodleysquats have emerged. They’re part of the largest chess game to be played in the world – the vision is at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa, Spain. All the people who had the taste, the humor, the guts and the pocketbooks deep enough to go for these rarities will be invited to a big party and chess game one of these days. Paul’s new ‘Dilemma’ just materialized. 3 more to go before the game begins! Add your name to the list of Doodleysquat devotees!
