Hemp Cruisers week Five continues! Time flies that fast. Car #5 up and running front window display for all your great curbside viewing, no admission charged. Free all day long, night too. Also did a quick change out and put in “My Whales” two copper whales swimming. This is from private collection and is not for sale. However I foresee a new copper whale coming to life.
Third week already and car #3 is up and running or should I say showing. Same cool window, same spot in old town. Arts Alive is this Saturday Mar 1, 2025
Smell the burnt rubber all the way across the street to Fish & Game, old town Eureka. As promised the Hemp Cruiser run continues. With the Daytona 500 in the rear view this one is in the Front View! Act now don’t wait fore it may be too late and gone in 60 seconds!
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!
Ideas that become reality - Humboldt Freedom the latest to reach that status, nice. Sometimes you gotta toot your own horn, toot toot this ones in the books, el finee! completo! Simple ideas soon morph into something more complex, let the piece take you where it needs to go. Spend the time to make it actually happen. Most importantly finish that bad dog cuz something unfinished is just unfinished. Make it happen.
Doing this build took me back to being a kid in Iowa growing up building car models with my brother, we’d paint em up make em look real. Fast forward now the same except I have to come up with the idea, make the parts and assemble, no big deal thats the fun part. Remember where you came from and you will go far.
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.
Old town Eureka coloring book now available @ the Space in old town.
Read MoreShow will be showing until the end of 2024. “The Space” located at 620 2nd street old town Eureka is open M-Sat so stop on by when it’s good for you. Get lost in Europe even if only for a short moment. We all need a nice break once in awhile.
Crappy WX continues to fill the redwoods with plenty of rain water to drink, they are a thirsty bunch. Am tired of the constant rain so curb my artistic abilities to the daily draw. Bair House located up on the hill in Arcata classic Queen Anne architecture built in 1888. Notice the similarities of this draw and the Pythian Castle located just down a few blocks. Both have the witches hat roof lines. Older different time period from now. Very cool but tough draws.
Use the correct recipe and you can make anything. Dial your Oxy/Acetylene torch to a cool 3,000 degrees Celsius. Burn some brass bend a little steel, skin a bit of copper. Pacific Princess all up front and nice.
