Magic Kids Guitar

I made this guitar for my friend Bennett and his band The Magic Kids from Memphis. I took these pictures near music row in Nashville this summer. That's my cousin Frankie trying out the guitar. He was driving to Memphis for work one day so he dropped it off to my good friend Tommy (Bennett's dad) who got it to the band. Bennett emailed me to say thanks and that they were maybe going to attach it to their drum set. I added their myspace page to my links if you'd like to listen to their music.

Electric Chair, Recliner Nude and West Coast All Star

I showed "Recliner Nude-after Monet" at the Brick City Center for the Arts in Ocala. I was in several shows there in 2004 and maybe 2005.
"Electric Chair" was up for just a few days in 2010 on the fence keeping in Mama Mia (one of the mamma pigs) at Wedge Oak Farms in Lebanon,TN. I shocked myself getting this photo but it was worth it.
"Ruscha-West Coast All Stars" is a painting I made in 2004.

Blasts from the past

Before "Eyes like Brancusi" was at Simple G's I made it for a show at Catch 22 Gallery. It was outside for less than 24 hours before the city made us move it inside. I cut off two of the eyeballs so it would fit. They are made from the old exterior lights along the north wall of Ocean Villas Condominium complex where I was the pool boy/maintenance assistant when we first lived in St. Augustine. "Dear Marcel(Duchamp), Thanks for Nothing, Sincerely mikewindy" for all I know is still in the men's urinal at the upper pool men's room of the complex.

Fable Cry

Here's the band Fable Cry playing a song about a crazed coyote at the opening of "the Superfluous Steam Machine:an Exposition of Eccentricity" on July 6th 2011 in the foyer of the Trahern Building at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN.

Stairwell Sculpture at Carley and Jon's

Finally finished the installation of this piece from the Rise and Fall exhibit in Clarksville at my friends Jon and Carley's house in Nashville. They have it where they can pull the small avocado over the pulley at the top of the stairs and it raises the big avocado on the large face hanging on the wall above the bottom of the stairs. I never would have thought to install the smaller floor component of piece from the exhibit on the wall but it looks and works great. Thanks Jon and Carley(and Tony for technical advice)

Hummingbird

I was walking to get something for breakfast at Austin Peay State University yesterday and stopped to take a picture of a fountain to put on the Steampunk Sculpture Facebook Page and this little beauty showed up. It was within a foot of me several times.

windymikewindy at Simple Gestures

Our show went well tonight at Simple Gestures in St. Augustine Florida. Windy and I both sold some work and it was fun to have our first exhibit together at Simple G's. Here are the two main walls that our work was on, The "Pie in the Sky Paintings", Windy's piece made up of 6 pieces and Alisa and James showing off the paintings I made for them for being such awesome friends to me, Windy and Joey.
