Extra barrels? More fire pits!

So after completing Barrels! for the Children's Museum, I had a few extra oil drums sitting around and thought I would try a new idea I had for a shallow fire pit.

We already have a dependable one, however, so feel free to let me know if you have any interest in this guy! Cold weather's on its way and backyard fires with friends is a great way to stay warm!

Tethered Kites in their new home!

I took a road trip with a few pals and installed these kites in their newest location. They're currently outside the children's section of the main public library in Germantown, Tennessee.

They are there as part of the City of Germantown's Public Art Promenade Project.

Porter's Parking Patch (sorry for the delay)

I realized that I never put up any finished images of the pumpkin bike rack... so here are a few pictures of them in their new home in downtown Easton, Pa.

Turns out they are located right near where my grandfather's butcher shop used to be... Pretty crazy.

TEST!

Here's a quick video of an experiment for the sculpture for the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh... A few changes need to be made but it's coming along. 

Be sure to check out all the Tough Art projects at the Children's museum beginning mid-September!

Thank You SOUP N'AT!

I just want to thank SOUP N'AT and everyone that attended last night for supporting my project to make some little secret creatures on and around Penn Avenue in Friendship and Garfield!

If you're not familiar with SOUP N'AT, it's an awesome event that brings people together and supports the local arts. It's a quarterly event in which patrons pay for a delicious soup dinner and listen to artist proposals. Then everyone votes and the winner takes all the proceeds to support their proposed project. Check out their website or their facebook page if you'd like to learn more!!!

Tough Art Developments

Sorry for my long absence...This summer has been a busy one. I'm currently a resident in the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh's Tough Art Artist Residency, in which artists develop and fabricate interactive pieces for the museum floor. Here's a little video (feel free to ignore the background music) and a couple pictures that should give you a good idea of where my project is heading...

All of the Tough Art pieces will be installed and open to museum visitors in mid-September.

The Bike Mechanic

The Bike Mechanic was made for the silent auction at Bike Pittsburgh's party for Bikefest, which is this Friday!!! Check out the list of events for Bikefest here, which is going on now! And definitely check out the party... especially if you want to bid on this little guy...
