January not my favorite of months rainy day blues no desire to burn metal so draw. But the draw flame is barely burning struggle to get pen to paper, do what it’s supposed to do. If you don’t do it, then it won’t happen. Latest redwood Sequioa Park draw came from yet another bike ride around the park kinda MLK day.
Another year come and gone where does the time go? You can’t buy it or get it back. We held in person Arts Alive Jan 6, 2024 at the ArtCen Space in old town Eureka. Not many folks but still a good time. Recently I finished up a drawing series of fifteen new sketches all pen and ink. See January Arts Alive Virtual show for more.
Hey all, thanks for the interest in the “store” but in reality if you’re really interested I recommend contacting me directly. World travels too fast day to day to keep up with everything. I need to create ART and not fuss with stuff online. I know but, that is the real McCoy. Thanks
New idea for me, chart art has been around awhile and thought I’d like to re-visit this once again. My original airbrush “chart art” of Trinidad harbor hangs on my living room wall to this day. Everyone loves a passport stamp so I’ve come up with many of my own styles. Combining local charts with local art scenes is 100% spot on everything!
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.
Took a short roadtrip back to corn country - Iowa where I grew up. Not potatoes or Ohio but Corn country! Long ass ways to get there via Redding, CA - LA-Denver-Des Moines. Heck I could of made it back to Bangkok in that time! Visit of the family completed good visit. Time goes on way too fast. Next roadtrip pends. Stay tuned.
Just back from almost two full months SE Asia. Started in Bangkok, Thailand check stuff out eat soup get used to the heat. Cambodia and temple tours, talk about the heat, start early sip coconut juice right from the nut. Vietnam once again, HCMC to Vung Tau and north up the coast till I hit Da Nang. Things have changed, common thread everywhere to include rest of world? Cell phone hangs from everyone’s hand or stuck in face. I learned a lot in my travels, being nice goes a long way every single time.
Time sure flies when were doing what we want to be doing and not what someone else thinks we should be doing. Big thanks to Monica & Liam owners of Art Center Space Old Town Eureka. We are given opportunities in life, sometimes we take them sometimes we don't. This one I did and WOW! Stop down for Arts Alive if in town, but if you missed it show will be up and running for entire month of December 2022. Thanks for everyones support. Scott
Time flies when creating Art. World needs more of it and I do my best. This weekend June 11 & 12, 2022 North Coast Open Studios continues with 2nd weekend of art filled studios. Please stop by and check out some really cool copper sculpture, one of a kind that you will never see anywhere else. See you Sat & Sun 10-5, “the fish guy”.

Haven’t been here for quite a spell, COVID killed lots and now trying to get back to a normal. I decided to remodel 1 of 3 bathrooms at my home residence. Six months later and probably a ten thousand dollar bill is the job finally done. Take a look at the end result. I’m happy with my work and know I may not be a painter but who cares, I like it and that’s all that matters! Have an enjoyable viewing.
Hi all, passing the good word I have closed shop at my downtown location, relocating back to my home studio. Life is good, ART is the best. Stay positive during this pandemic, one day we’ll be back to normal. I can be found cruising around town in the CQ or you can contact through my website. Thanks all.
Sometimes one needs to go big, this one I did. Learned a lot, still do, do you? Shark Buoy comes out of the wall at you at 37”, and the teeth. The teeth.
Monster mash bash is back, check out Lost Coast Outpost for the lastest and greatest mash bash!
Covid still goes but does that stop you from doing stuff? New shark build close to completion, very large and in charge. He goes by “Shark Buoy”. Very large dark intimidating eyes 2.5” all wrapped in a copper skin. Check out Shark Buoy first chance you get. You will be scared!
Obviously I have neglected to post recent Art happenings. With the current COVID-19 pandemic I’ve been closed in like the rest of you. Late March 2020 I relocated my welding equipment back home, rebuilt new work bench and went to work, from home. Fast forward to end of June I totally rebuilt back portion of Copper Quad Art Car. Out with the old granny seat, in with a new racing Recaro seat! With that came a new design and name for machine on door. Using 3/16” cold roll steel rod I formed up the trunk design. Welded steel to steel which makes for a most excellent weld. Then came time for making a ton of steel rivet tabs, then welded on @ 5/32” rivet. Artwork of course had to be added to all panels and took a considerable amount of time to do. All by hand with a few hammers, punches, awls and engraver. Trunk had to open to access the two new Lithium 52 volt batteries. I installed a 1 - 2 switch to switch from battery 1 to battery 2. You have to manually check battery charge. With the trunk recently completed my goal has been achieved. Goal: Make reliable human power / electric assist transpo. I did and have been riding back and forth to work. Mission Accomplished!
