For those who do not know the know here is the know. Guitar + Garbage = Guitarbige.

Guitar bodies and necks that do not meet the requirements of Wildwood Mfg excellency requires and hence destined for the garbage bin. Since we have rescued these poor parts and have given new life in a different form. Art form. You can’t play it as an instrument but you can do whatever you like Artist wise. Let er rip I say, do what makes you happy!

Presently I’m closing in on finishing my piece which I’m very pleased with the results. Years and Years and then a whole bunch more years are really paying off. Continue to do what you love to do. Apply the blood, sweat and sweat. Long hours and effort and you have - Success!

Rockin the Guitarbige Art Show is August 1, 2026. Art Center Space located at 620 2nd Old Town Eureka.

2026 has arrived!

January is usually a good time to hunker down, rain and wind okay. No in person Arts Alive for this sailor today but I do have my Virtual show up and running. “Walk Draw 2025” Sketches from around the globe and a few states from this last year. Enjoy!

Prague - Berlin did someone say Road trip? Again? Yessir!

Interesting trip, SFO to Frankfurt then Prague for some working holiday routine kinda thing. Stayed in Prague 10 days same place and metro’d around town, very easy only three lines. Grannies swilling beer from big mugs at 10 not uncommon. Great Gothic, Renaissance to present. Very challenging for the daily draw but well worth it. You just have to motate and motivate. The sketch won’t sketch itself.

Decided to skip Munich due to high cost of staying in hotels with Octoberfest, no need to visit puking hill if I don’t need too. So I trained it up 5 hours or so to Berlin and stayed right downtown for first four days. The U & S Bahn train lines a bit more extensive than Prague. The S-Bhan which is mostly above gound much easier to navigate. The history that awaits you anywhere in Berlin is pretty amazing. You just have to put your walking shoes on and get to walking. I found my first stumbling stones or Stolperstein stones out along the Spree river. Best part was ripping around Berlin downtown in the Berlin Hotrods. Small one person gas powered cars that are legal and licensed. For 90 minutes of pure bliss and the smell of burnt rubber, priceless!

Lastly made a two week stop back in Iowa where I grew up to see Mom who isn’t doing the best. So a son talk fest with myself and brother we had a great time under the circumstances.

Travel while you still can, time catches up on you faster than you think. Now where did I put that currywurst and Berliner?! Enjoy!
