My dream Sage logo, cast in bronze

[Nicolas M. Thiery]

Dear Sage lovers,

For quite some time I have been wanting to design a Sage logo based on
a Sage plant growing out of a Pi-shaped caduceus with two Pythons
turning around it; alas, I have no artistic sense to make it. But when
I went to Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso last Fall, I was lucky enough
to find again Kader Derm�, a bronze artist I had met twenty years
ago. He crafted this bronze sculpture for me using lost-wax casting,
adding art and an African touch to the design.

If you ever go to Bobo-Dioulasso go see him! It's such a great
experience to believe, for a minute, that you have fingers, and craft,
and artistic sense to realize your dreams. Note that I am to be
blamed for the Sage plant not to look more like Sage: Sage does not
grow in Burkina, and I did not bring a picture!

I don't know when I'll have the occasion to go again to Bobo. If
anyone with some artistic sense wants to team up with me, I'd be happy
to discuss this further to either make a drawing or a 3D model.

Cheers,
Nicolas

I'd propose the top part of Pi to be made even more skateboard-looking
;-)
