I wanted to do something with a tuba for quite a while now. The museum exhibit this coming summer was a good opportunity to create a few big objects. Enter the tuba. I found a tuba from 1932 used in a local brassband. It was too worse for wear to play anymore and was sold as a decorative object. I instantly fell in love with the worn brass with dents and other signs of wear. I really struggled with it a while, it’s a pretty hard object to convert to a machine, but in the end I am very pleased with the outcome.
Dr. Abantius’ Tubaphonic Traveller is inspired by the comics Guust Flater (Gaston Lagaffe) by André Franquin. Details like the skull gearshifter and the negative cambered wheels refer to the rat rod scene.

Flat Kat
...definitely not a sail cat...this one made it across the road! Hot potato tong whiskers, lawn sprinkler head, ten speed cable shifter eyes, tea strainer mouth and Bakelite nose are mounted to a vegetable steamer and cookie jar lid for convenient wall hanging. All make for a purrrrfect match.
I created the "electric amp" from the housing of an old electric BBQ rotisserie motor, the dials are made-up of anodized spacers and washers, the legs are bolts/springs and the cloth cord is off an antique hair dryer...I added the mini toggle switch for good measure.
the electric guitar was originally a vintage EABLOY single cube ice crusher, the head is part of a bicycle rear derailleur as is the vibrato arm

Houston, TX

The GP 1100 Ray Pistol was the preferred side arm of the Oxford Constabulary of 1911. This was the patrolman's weapon of choice. Many a ne'er-do-well has fallen to the humane blast of the GP 1100's confuser ray. Ta Ta!
GP
The Electrotomic Manipulator was the most powerful handgun of the late1800's. The kick was so powerful it could break a man's wrist. Therefore, it was necessary to grip the ray gun with both hands. The EM delivered a devastating round which could disintergrate a charging elephant at a hundred yards. -GP

El Toro
"...capturing the quiet serenity of a tractor busily working the fields in the shadow of majestic El Toro...”
well, that's what I was going for anyway. What I ended up with is this old wooden gas station tank measuring stick gauge, cigarette rolling machine, vintage aluminum sign, brass gear, spring etc.
This was created to commemorate Morgan Hill's 100 year anniversary.
A elephant sculpture built with found metal. The head is the rear section of an old tricycle I found in a dump at Distant Hill Gardens in Walp[ole New Hampshire. Next to the sculpture Bergenia cordifolia is blooming, a plant with the common name of Elephant Ears, so named because of its big leaves
