Yes, it is THE Space Needle floor lamp [finally]

July 22nd, 2010

spaceneedlelight by Pat TassoniAn upcoming show at Childhood’s End Gallery [biblicly titled 'let there be light'] has prompted me to finally build the thing that I’ve wanted to for so, so long — the saucer section has parts that I collected over 3 years ago.

It stands at about seven feet in height. It is fun to walk around/under it and pretend I’m Godzilla smashing tourists in the streets. Even though the bulbs are pictured in red, the display will most likely have green bulbs — red just photographs so well.

This is the first photo. I still have to add the halo; and I just ordered 50 toggle bolts for the gills [think of a mushroom cap]. See the finished product in the end of August and through September at Childhood’s End Gallery.

In the desert no one can hear you scream

From a recent trip to the desert…I packed my ray guns for appropriate promotional shots of course. It was hot!

OOPS! I DID IT AGAIN!!!

coatrack tesla_coil -- it's ELECTRIC!!!

coatrack tesla_coil -- it's ELECTRIC!!!

My newest invention: a Tesla Coil Coatrack.

Refabricated super shiny metal, including:
· vintage hubcap
· high-voltage porcelain insulator
· metal pole with hidden wood broomstick [for stability of course]
· vase and door handles
· vintage coffee urn with bathroom fixtures hardware
· AND a slinky!

It’s positively ELECTRIC!

Oh, and did I mention the top [of course] and the middle feature rotate?

E-mail me for alternative views of looking up and looking down the beast!

Currently available at www.matteroly.com
along with the Nomad Coatrack

Got empties?

December 16th, 2009

skyy vodkaI finished this holiday commission.

I told them to bring me the bottle — I would have preferred it full…

The brass parts were salvaged from the junk I got in Kent and compliment the blue Skyy Vodka glass nicely.
