Attempted theft of Space Needle!!!

January 21st, 2012

Last night burglars took this piece from the gallery. They busted thru the skylight to get it. They also attempted to take Pat Tassoni's space needle coatrack and Ruby Re-Usable's green trash gyre baby. Both of those pieces were left by the door, so they were obviously interrupted somehow. Please circulate photos of Jud Turner's skull piece. It's 50" in diameter and not a piece that would be easy to hide.

My friend, who put together the show that prompted me to build the Space Needle, recently posted about workspaces. See how mine stacks up against some others [hint, it looks messy]:

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.

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

I’ve done another a 50’s prototypical

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!
