Levin C. Abantius, aka the traveller is able to travel long distances through time and space. Trying to unravel the mysteries of life.
It’s a hard life for him, as he is merely an observer. It’s dangerous to mess with history as the changes to
the future are unpredictable. The older he gets, the more enigmatic he becomes, questions are raised:
why does he have a skull on his walking cane? And what do those 6 notches on it represent?

"Meathead Santa": another found-art doodle I created at Claudia's Torkidlit holiday bash (photos of PEOPLE coming soon :)). Kind of creepy, I know, but I drew it later in the evening. And yes, I ate everything on the plate a few minutes after I drew this...which prompted a discussion between Julian & me about a potential new children's book series called "Who Ate My Head?" (as I said, it was later in the evening :-)).

You can find art almost anywhere, if you look hard enough. Here's the story of how I became interested in Found Object art.
You can see a selection of these doodles on my website in my Found Object Art gallery.
Mad Mark built this in the middle of the night out of materials lying around the Bulb. Clint Eastwood wants to help get it designated an historical landmark. It is has a heart shaped roof, a little spiral staircase, and an amazing view.

A customer loved this renaissance look I incorporated in my new pieces but wanted it on a picture frame box to conceal her remote controls on her coffee table while, instead, displaying her recently departed cats on the top.

Lapsarian is from the latin word lapare: to slip, to fall, to stumble. We get our english word "lapse" from that word too. Lapsarian is defined: of or pertaining to the fall of man from innocence, and to the role of women in that fall.
In the book of Genesis, the first book of the Jewish and Christian Bibles, God creates Adam and Eve and places them in the Garden of Eden, forbidding them to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (often symbolized in art and literature as an apple tree).
The serpent persuades Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree. Eve shares the fruit with Adam and they become ashamed of their nakedness, making coverings for themselves with fig leaves.
Later God provided garments for them of animal hides. Because of their disobedience, they were banished from the Garden of Eden, to work the ground from which Adam had been taken & made.
This assemblage piece is an attempt to visualize that story, sort of in a Tim Burton-ish way. It shows the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (shown here as an apple with teeth), with a serpent (a snake) winding in and out of it.
Eve's hand comes from inside holding an apple core. Adam, below, also has an apple core behind him, and is shown clothed with fig leaves and an animal hide (turtle shell).
"GreedEater" is mechanized angler fish, which uses money as bait for greedy homosapiens.

created this for a friend. fashioned after the most famous battered Strat in rock history, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fender Stratocasters...although Rory Gallagher's Stratocaster was pretty trashed too!

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.
