Flying Copper Contraptions anyone? Yes their still out there flying around “The Space” in Old Town Eureka, 620 2nd to be exact. Yesterday I did a little massaging of the space and moved the Fly Boys up towards the front of the store. Perfect for window viewing and of course shopping! Next months featured artist will be Georgia Long, check her work out you will like. Enjoy!
Unfortunately it hasn’t been the best of weeks, buddies best friend seeing eye dog Releve unexpectedly died day before NYE, what a serious bummer. So I took a bit of down time to reflect but also to know this hound would of said “get your ass back to work” so I have been, slowly. “Humboldt Freedom” trike sculpture is close to completion but when you add a rider you add that much more time and effort. Let the piece decide where it goes, you will know when it’s time to say “when”. Enjoy the ride, 2025 has arrived!
Idea was simple, build a 70’s style trike chopper, knucklehead engine. Figure out all the rest along the ride. Ordered race slicks and motorcycle kids toy tires for a perfect burn out kinda sculpture. Of course as all pieces they take a life of their own and this one has as well. A three belt drive system? Humboldt Belt Co. supplied all the necessary belts to make the “Humboldt Freedom” fly like the wind. Check out the “as we build” show. Build continues till finished. So check back in once in awhile and see the progress. Goal have this racer rolling by Christmas. Thanks for stopping by.
The big rush of creating new artwork for “Featured Artist” always puts a foot in my backside. Get stuff done now today, do not wait for tomorrow! Looking forward to 2025 many things come to mind. Ferndale sketches are sighted in along with yet another world travel yet to be determined. In talking with a buddy yesterday the topic came up whether art is selling, my answer was simple, no. Just because my artwork does not sell does not mean that gives me a free pass to loaf the rest of my life. I have the natural born talent it would be sad for me not to pursue my art until I can no longer. I see many people with talent that they just waste, how sad. Get Motivated now! For tomorrow may never come. Art on my friends!
Had the great opportunity to be the featured Artist for the third month straight so what to do? Get busy and make Art. So I set out and with a buddy who wanted to learn the coppersmith trade. Mike showed up everyday for three weeks, job still incomplete. Lots of learning was had, a humbling expeirence. He said “you make it look easy, which it is not”. Over 100 hours combined effort to pull this one off. Base company is Talon Air with the airplane named Fish Hawk 5 for five props and five screw ups by Mike. Enjoy the ride! Arts Alive Dec 7, 2024
