Work, Work, Work and, um, Work


I still have snow on the ground here and it's driving me nuts, since I do a lot of my work outdoors. So, the last two days were sort of fun… I've been cutting firebowls, and giggling as I threw the red hot scrap bits into the snow and heard it hiss it's way just a little closer to the ground.

The yard is starting to show through finally, and it looks like a thunderstorm is rolling in, so maybe by tomorrow the evil snow will at last be vanquished. Then I can finally start getting serious about making some new sculpture for galleries.

The order for the Great Bowl O Fire came through for the theme park in Myrtle Beach, and I'll be shipping it out by Monday. I hope I can get some photos from them when they get it installed. This'll be the first one rigged to burn gas, so I'm excited about that.

TypePad Hacks is still going strong and taking a good deal of me energy— I had a great conversation last night with Michael Sippey, the GM at TypePad. We talked about the new Widgets, my ideas for TypePad Stores, what TypePad is working on now, how TypePad Hacks will relate with their own outreach to users and a lot of things that are "coming soon."  I'll post further details over at TypePad Hacks in the following days. But I think it's safe to say that a lot of good is going to come from my efforts over there.

Oh, and it looks like my daughter Mya will be here for two months again this summer, which is great news. Aside from enjoying her company, it looks like having an extra hand in the shop is gonna be mandatory this year!

About John

John T. Unger If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. — John T. Unger

I believe creative re-use has the potential to spark new ways of looking at the world… if one thing can be turned into another, what else can we change? Successful recycled art encourages creativity in others— it's alchemical, magical, subversive, and transformative by nature. Read On
