I just completed this piece for the upcoming San Diego International Auto Show - 20" long, 9" wide. 10" tall
This peculiar contraption, titled Menindee ATV, was originally exhibited in a local ‘Waste to Art’ competition several years ago. As is evident, it consists of a wheelbarrow equiped with a motorcycle front wheel, hand operated drum brake, coil suspension, headlights, a water bag and two-way radio—oh, and oarlocks for use in crossing the odd flooded creek. On one level it is a reference to some of the odd conveyances found around the district. A few years back, for example, two people were reported to have moved all of their worldly possessions the 200 kilometres from Wilcannia to Broken Hill in a couple of shopping carts. The work is also a nod to the fact that in the 19th century it was common for workers and would-be miners to use wheelbarrows as the preferred means of transporting their gear to the goldfields and outback pastoral leases.

Gigantor is 23.5" tall and I threw little Visetti in just to illustrate this new bots imposing scale. I started with a old electric fence controller (it's stamped May 1958 on the inside), added a pair of really cool aluminum Smoothie maker spin on lids, an old espresso maker base, two aluminum golf pull cart flanges, some bakelite wheels from a Electrolux vacuum cleaner and a spin on oil filter tool. Coming to crush a city near you today...
‘32 Board Tracker
Back when men were men and motorcycles had no brakes, board tracking racing was America's No. 1 spectator sport. Bright white tires should tip you off to the nostalgic era from wench this thumper came. Valve spring compressor tool forks and "cheater brakes"
from a ten speed bike make up the front end. The brass tank started life as a vintage torch
and the hand formed saddle was cover with leather from a woman's handbag. An all aluminum espresso maker and black finned heat sink power add the go and a pair of old meat grinder handles sturdy the rear end. Grab your leather skull cap and you're ready to rumble.
28" long, baby carriage wheels, espresso maker base
