Upcoming Banquets of Steel And rubber Smokeouts.

In the Fall of The past Season the Studio was abloom with the late flowers of summer, the projects and designs. Blueprints laid flat, unfurled like a great canvas of a master, fine lines and curves all around,   The distractions of those times have since become lesser giants of their former selves, the great hands of time having swept away a number of tumors.

     Now as the season temperature ebbs and wanes, back and forth yet still, we are reminded that the coming tides of spring would not be too far away. With natures logical promise, that even though the barren wastelands pour out their fury and might, we have another season approaching still.

  SO!  Soon the winds Will subside and The bikes will roll out.  The motors have been boring themselves into the heads of their owners, and The harley dealership is beginning to see signs of life again, The tours and informational sessions bringing folks in from around the town.  I stopped in myself and found the a whole group of people talking and milling about. Clipboard in hand I ordered a shiny new set of keys for my harley, Parked since october I haven't ran the motor in a while.

  Casting,  Pouring Molten metal Into the Encasement of a mold.  That is the Future topics of this semesters explorations.  finding Ways to turn Billet and sculptural molds into cast objects of function and reliability.   With objects like taillights, headlamps, turn signals and motor parts, we've got a ton of work ahead.  especially with the wax failures of this past week.  Stay tuned, More to come!

Starting Winter in the Face

Over the course of several weeks, We've been dumped on, here in Michigan, Cubic tons of snow litter the street and pile along 696 where the empty lot sits between Woodward and Royal oak.   The studios heater blazes warm while I type, the hot green tea a minimal comfort, friends have been lost this season, Colleagues moved, and things have changed.  Not so much for the worse dear reader, but things sure feel hot to the touch.   A calm day is not so much found here, distractions and the words of allies, ring all around, causing unrest.   We share the winter, but some lives are warmer than others, Helping out at the Warming shelter at church for the homeless warms my heart for the love I do see in my life, but we constantly strive for more, finding dissatisfaction often. often unreasonably so, pressing our expectations on others.  My hope for this season is the winter finds you warm with your passions and hearts ablaze with the thoughts of the coming spring.

      Old photos litter the late nights over scotch and ice, the green green photos over the year take me back to the long nights I spent with all the folks down in Detroit, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Westland, and all over!  Over the year theres been a lot of talk about the upcoming changes, and the current changes happening already with the diplomatic and government offices.  The emergency manager situation in full effect, While the creative community counters with plans for increased problem solving and efficiency in all areas.   Were looking forward to the future, Friends, Buying homes, investing, turning up the volume on dinner parties and the workout music, bettering themselves, and others.
  It seems we've got a flow going here and looking forward is exactly what the city needs.   As for me, I'm plugging along, the studio continues to slowly grow and increase it's reach while studies and product development continue.

            Stay inspired Detroit Metro, and don't let yourself be ruined by failures or dissapointments of other, the world is broad and there is much to be appreciated, whether it's the green eyes of a best friend, or the blue skies of another day, "living the dream".
