I had a busy day yesterday. Here's some pics.
A wonderful bit of road sculpture. The eyes glow blue.
A delicious mermaid (note the SS Alpha Fox [Star Trek Meter-Reader car] in the back-you'll see that again soon) complete with lemon wedges and garnishes.
Move 'em out!
I left Berkeley and took Nick to Alameda's Peanut Butter Jam. Skippy peanut butter got invented there! It was the first peanut butter that didn't seperate. It's a street fair that features local artisans, such as the Crucible. I watched a glass blower ply her craft. The Crucible also had set up a small forge.
The bands this year were amazing. I danced.
Nick found a small friend.
After PB&J, I went to my first warehouse party. I sort of knew that people lived inside containers in big warehouses, but I'd never been privy to the reality of it.
I could live like that.
Breathing fire is fun. Be sure to only breathe out.

This little car has some prodiguous propane gun power. The couple who own it have a little baby who sleeps blissfully through roaring heat of the thing. I wonder if I'll ever make an art car that shoots fire?
I met a rather amazing artist, Margot Lovinger. Her art car story is not like mine; she'd been painting cars and lowering their resale value for years before finding out that anyone else made art cars. Me, I had mine for just about a year before hooking up with Philo. Margot "paints" with fabric. Her work is pretty one-of-a-kind, and beautiful. She's in a couple of galleries, but always looking for more representation. I admire an artist that is doing the business of being in business. I hope all her dreams come true!
