"Green Gate" - functioning water fountain on Redwood chainsaw carving

/ Art Center Space/

This big boy was installed 26 Jan 2026, been a few years since I’ve seen or been around this piece. Originally built for my buddy Kenny his cannabis farm (replicate property/farm). This water fountain from time of build till now performs perfectly! No leaks a little squeak from the water wheel but that’s giving life and sound to this piece.

Presently showing at the “Art Center Space” located in old town Eureka 620 2nd street. Stop in and say hi to Monica and Liam and of course the hounds.

Thailand 2026!

/

Can’t believe another road trip to Thailand, home of smiles. Love the place so mellow, peaceful. Loving people everywhere. Chicken and rice I’m thinking is what’s for chow. Start back in BKK or Bangkok less than 30 days. Think I’ll be focusing on “people draws” this trip. Taiwan people cooking stuff up were contagious sketch objects. Bangkok should be perfect. Chiang Mai another good spot to hang the hat once again. Enjoy the winter in Thailand north.

Copper Quad Art Car

/ Hemphill Copper Works/

Guess it’s been awhile since I’ve added to my log. Copper Quad copper skinning has been completed entire frame has been primed & painted. Copper skin have all been riveted together. Have experienced a few breakdowns due to the additional weight of the body. Two broken front spokes, wheels in for repairs. Then forward mounting bracket broke. No problem easy fix just need to beef up the weld, good to go! Arts Alive April 6, 6-9pm!

CQ - Build Continues

Sometimes Art takes its time, in this case mine. Copper Quad recently had a Doc appt, a few minor things taken care of. Copper skinning has begun and is taking shape nicely. Stop by for Nov Arts Alive to see for yourself.

Copper Quad - The Build Continues

Who would of known an idea or thought would take this much time and effort. Things are progressing at a fast build pace. Take your time and knock out the small stuff and soon you’re there, done. Well almost. I’ve learned alot on this project and is fun to take a JoyRide around Old Town.
