I wish I had taken a shot of Liberace at this organ, but it was so dark I didn't expect this to come out at all. I didn't have him with me, anyway.
It's a little organ and interesting light fixture in a lobby of a hotel/building in Los Angeles. The light line is my flash reflecting off the metal siding on the wall.
I hope they have someone who plays it.

This hanging light fixture is the newest design in my on-going recycled wine bottle light series. This is only my second pendant light. I think I was subconsciously influenced by ceramic vases by Teco. The bottle has been sandblasted, and the plywood was shaped on a bandsaw. The three plywood wings are held together by a brass spider that I fabricated and screwed on the top of all three segments of the spider. I had to incorporate some store bought lamp supplies, and I used an energy efficient 2 watt LED light bulb that does an excellent job of illuminating the bottle.

Standing on top of a light fixture, this bird takes a look at the water before jumping in for a bath, possible fishing, or being narcissistic.

(the clock obviously not real brass but it is what I want done in real brass, gives you the idea of what I want to do to the front of this when I make it into a working lamp) JOHN S. DWIGHT, Lighter, 'QUEEN OF THE BOOTLEG FLEET'
Hear Her haunted crys of "THE ROARING TWENTIES: PROHIBITION, RUMRUNNING, POLITICIAN SCANDALS, MURDER, COVER-UPS, UNSOLVED MYSTERIES!"
info compiled Through news & news clippings:
"NEWSPAPER MEN ARE DOWN HERE AS THICK AS BEES IN A HIVE!"
"WE'VE GOT TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE AND STOP THIS PUBLICITY!"
"GET THE BODIES AWAY, EVEN IF U HAVE 2 IDENTIFY THEM FALSELY!"
That was just one of the countless mysterious phone calls from someone on the island to someone "High up" on the mainland after the mysterious destruction, sinking, and brutal murders of the John Dwight and her beloved crew of atleast eight. Someone did in fact within hours of this call, arranged and made sure that all 7 bodies were supposedly identified and shipped them off the island to be given proper burials, but were they really identified properly and put in their proper graves? One thing is clear, someone important wanted the truth of someone's involvement in either what the John Dwight was actually illegally doing and or the actual involvement into the horrific murders of the John Dwight crew hushed!
The lighter John S. Dwight, was 1 of 3 Lighters to Rum Run and she was the "QUEEN OF THE BOOTLEG FLEET". Her history stems way back to.... She was a ship of great honor whom served her country well! During prohibition, It was not uncommon for some ships to take on extra money by running a few favors with or with no questions asked as it has always been in maritime history..
When Captain John F. King, of 124 Jefferson ave., Brooklyn, N.Y., told his wife and daughter that his son, Harry F. King, and he would be only going to Newport, R.I. to bring back a ship to Brooklyn, N.Y. by april 4, 1923, thursday, little did he know, that they would not return and that he would leave behind such a scandalous, haunting mystery of a ship, her crew, political involvement, rum-running, destruction, haunting murders, and multiple cover-ups!
What is actually fact and what was "reported" as fact is definately in question.
1) Reported: on APRIL 3, 1923,TUE., or APRIL 4,wed. early morning, JOHN DWIGHT sailed from NEWPORT, R.I.with a destination of "unknown".
2) On board were Navigating Cptn. John F. King, managing Cptn. Malcom John Carmichael of Jersey City, N.J, and 8-13 other crew members. Not even the exact amount of crew was actually known, so they claim...
3) On April 5, thurs afternoon, Cptn. Walter Loveridge on a mailboat from New Bedford to Cuttyhunk saw the John Dwight anchored 1 mile NO. of quick's hole in Buzzard's Bay. He pulled aside the lighter and saw men sunning acting suspicious say little engine trouble but ok
5) on april 5, fri. am. Daniel Vincent, @ Menomisha Creek, 10 miles bland the sound from Cuttyhunk & something islands heard distress signal.
6) same hour, the pilot of the merchant M..liner Dorcherster, Boston-bound was in the sound saw john dwight ropes loose & noone aboard
7)almost @ same time he saw a boat with 5 men in it, 3 were rowing, two with heads just showing coming from john dwight which was about a mile from the southern shore of Nashawons & some 8 miles from GaY head, going to the "high land of Cuttyhunk"-reffering to the hill that rises in the center of the island
8) at 7:20 a.m., or shortly after the DORCHESTER HAD PASSED thru the sound, FELIX PLOUFFE, the lookout at CUTTYHUNK COASTGUARD STATION, reported ship sinkin a mile or two out,call rest of guard.
9) at 7:30 a.m. GayHead Coastguard lookout spot her sinking fast by stern
10)Both CG crew head 4 her but Gayhead had engine trouble with their motor lifeboat & wiht 6 or 7 miles to go reached spot later aft. cuttyhunk savers. neither saw life or bodies.
11) what both saw was wreckage, icebox, ship furniture,barrels of bottled ale labeled "Frontenac Imported Stock Ale". ship gone down into 100 feet h2o.
12)Woods Hole, New Bedford, & Martha's Vineyard ports FISHERMAN swarm around spot soon & rumored that they grab the ale. Noone saw any bodies, or boat...
13) GAYHEAD CG LIFEBOAT return to beach No. of the head with 11 barrels of ale, 10 the CG CPTN ruthlessly ordered thrown off the cliffs after 1 had been stolen. Barrells & bottles smashed as cliffs were high.
14) next day sat june 7, fishing craft on the no. shore of martha's vineyard, between the "brickyards" & "Cedar Tree neck" folly 10 miles from where john dwight sunk found 7 BODIES. bODIES all recovered within space of 1 mile with life preservers strapped bout their waists. Another body, the 8th,Later identified as Harry F. King, son of Cptn. King, was found in a dinghy boat, sprawled face down, with head under the aft seat & one leg over & the other leg under the rowing seat, in unnatural position with no life preserver on him but a preserver had been tied to a rowlock seat. To the socket on the other side to the 10 ft. boat was tied a peice of rope. The victim had apparently tried to improvise 2 rowing locks & to use a couple of sla?? as rowing oars.
12)INVESTIGATION-STRANGE! 6 bodies viewed at Menemaha..Creek in gay head & 2 at gayhead cG station by MEDICAL EXAMINER= EDWARD P. WORTH OF EDGARTOWN. then they taken to MORGUE @ VINEYARD HAVEN
13)found 16'ft. somewhat battered,steel boat without roars or oarlocks was reportetd picked up on Nashawen Ilsand & brought into Meshaha..
14) sunday after news bodies were found many telephone calls bet. Marthas vine..& mainland. 2 strangers came 2 vineyard & veiw bodies, believed to be survivors comin to see who died.
15)mon fro mainland came Martin R. Craven came in as aka: "MARTIN R CRONAN" with 2 other men & identified 1 body as his brother James A. Craven as aka: JAMES A CRONAN (b. 1856N.J. Parents b.NJ. (sailor? can't read it) 139 Broad St. Mattanau Borrough, Mammatts, New Jersey CRAVEN, JAMES 1920 Census NJ MONMOUTH MATAWAN BORO wife: Aurelia b1874Pennsylvania son-Russellb.1901Pennsylvania ref: 1920 Census) & ordered him shipped to 282 masssacusetts ave, cambridge so they turn it over to THOMAS F KEOUGH, A CAMBRIDGE UNDERTAKER.
16) MARTIN R CRONAN (b. 1876N.Y. (laborer~print works) 152 Upper Wall St.West Haverstrau, Rockland, N.Y. 1920CensusNY ROCKLAND HAVERSTRAW ref: 1920 Census with sister Delia b.1873Ireland)presumambly under his right name, MARTIN CRAVEN,went to official & confess body was wrongly identified purposely because he wanted to keep the news from an aged mother & to protect another brother THOMAS CRAVEN (b. 1870Ireland imm-1872 152 Upper Wall St.West Haverstrau, Rockland, N.Y. (laborer~print works) ref: 1920 Census ) WHO WAS A WEALTHY NY POLITICIAN. he asked 4 a death certificate for JAMES A CRAVEN OF RUTHERFORD, NJ Whose widow he said wanted to give a christian burial. the examiner refused to give another certificate & it was reffered to district atty HALL OF TAUNTON.
17)inquiry: led to THOMAS CRAVEN 1920CensusNY ROCKLAND HAVERSTRAWA NY WEALTHY POLITICIAN, ARRAIGNED & held on bail in NY WITH 7 OTHERS MARCH 20 ON CHARGES OF HAVING been engaged in a gigantic conspiracty to smuggle millions of dollars worth of rum across the canadian border. craven & his alleged associates were indicted last mo. by a federal grand jury in NY. the inquiry also found that the dead brother not only had lived in rutherford but had $0000 house there
18) The mysterious,countless TELEPHONE Calls, to and from the Island to the mainland continue:
"NEWSPAPER MEN ARE DOWN HERE AS THICK AS BEES IN A HIVE!"
"WE'VE GOT TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE AND STOP THIS PUBLICITY!"
"GET THE BODIES AWAY, EVEN IF U HAVE 2 IDENTIFY THEM FALSELY!"
This particular call came from the island to someone "higher up" on the mainland. It is most interesting to note that within hours of this phone call, all 7 bodies were identified and removed from the island!!!
19) Two weeks after the Dwight sank, the state police became involved. Why would it take two weeks for them to get involved? They chartered a schooner, HERMAN L. ROGERS, with CPTN. ? FRED TILTON, and for 4 days they dragged and dove..
20) To bring more to the mystery, The medical examiner said all the victims died by drowning, yet atleast half had absolutely no water in their lungs and the other half had very little if any. What comes to mind even more so, is that if it were believable that they drowned, then how did a drowned body climb into a dinghy in the most perculiar position? What happened to make them leave the ship? What happened to the men after they were reportedly seen in a row boat rowing! yet later they were found with improvised oars & oar holes? This Famous & Historic light fixture is FOR SALE. I would like to get atleast $150,000. if not more for it. I need to fix my house. Will trade for decent house with land in Connecticut, Rhode Island or Massachusetts.

Wood + Steel + Paper + Cloth.
This piece of wood was the inspiration for this Lamp.
The wood- is a reclaimed Timber,
from an old, industrial building- salvaged and sold by a very special Lumberyard outside of Chicago.
The ancient timbers were felled,
& used to build structures that spawned early manufacturing entities around Chicago.
How appropriate , then- that I am making something from - a thing that helped make other things........
I've added a new section on my website.
Many of them "minimalist lamps" and other Custom, Built in

This lampshade design was made in Cinema 4D using polygon modelling techniques.
The shade’s concentric walls have interlacing square holes which hide direct line-of-sight to the lightbulb.
The single STL-file measures 140 x 140 x 140 mm, including the built in hole for attaching the shade to a standard light fixture.

It was the "Roarin 20's, and prohibition had been in place. Families took to having "stills" (my grandfather had one, lol) in their basements as alcohol was just as American as anything else. The famous John Dwight, Queen of the Rum Runners fleet, made a little extra money in the illegal shipping of alcohol. That is until one day, on 06 April 1923 with a crew of atleast 8-14 men, ran into some mysterious trouble and she would become the mystery of the century. As reporters began to dug to try to understand why a crew of 8 men would suddenly disappear and the ship sink, scandals of possible Politician involvement and more would unfold. The "John Dwight" last seen off the Cape, sunk near Martha's Vineyard. It's a haunting mystery to this day. If only this light fixture whom lit the crews room could speak, for it was the last thing to see what trully happened to the ill-fate of family men just trying to make a living, were murdered.. 8 bodies would sooner or later be found, the captains son, in a dinghy in the most peculiar positon with his head under a seat and his rump in the air, will the true story ever be told? The political scandal that rocked the news of every newspaper in the entire east coast was just another part of valuable American history, the wonderful roaring 20's, the famous Prohibition, and just normal families trying to make a living for their families during a time period of time when times were rough like the famous "Stock Market Crash". What was one day perfectly normal to do with alcohol, the next day would not be and turned innocent hard-working family men and women into criminals because the "times of that time-period" said so. Come back to see my "write-up" on the famous ""John Dwight" Queen of the Rum Runners" and her haunting history! My dad, a professional scuba-diver, took this off the "John Dwight" when his team went down her to investigate her. I inherited it. I hope to turn it into a working lamp with a wheel in front and clock inside of it. I hope to light it on it's anniversary in April. This is for sale for a minimum of $150, 000 as I need to repair my house, and be self-supporting and only request that a picture be taken with new owner for my own personal emotional attachment. My dad died less than 2 weeks before my 17th birthday and this is all I have of him left. How about a special piece of famous history? Will trade for decent house with land in Conneticut, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts.
