SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: February 2010

My art is an infectious need for me, sometimes a burden but most often a blessing.

This blog is about me and my obsessions, my loves, my need to create and my need of JUNK. I'm addicted to thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets and all roads leading off the beaten track to discover that perfect piece of junk. I recycle old license plates, old shovels, wheelbarrows, saw blades and anything else that's funky using my hand held plasma cutter. I love working with steel, sculpting, photography, watercolor painting, stained glass, and turning everyday utilitarian objects into art. Junked cars ~ I will always veer off the path to search out the beautiful wrecked Arroyo JunKers throughout Arizona, New Mexico and anywhere else the road may lead. When I'm not searching for those JunKers

On my recent thrift store fix I saw a Metallic Gold Cow skull and of course I had to buy it. I finally fixed it up more to my liking... The problem now is Where do I hang it? There is no wall space in or out!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs,
But I look around me and see it isn’t so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what’s wrong with that?
I’d like to know, cause here I go again
I love you I love you,
I love you I love you!

Dia De Los Muertos

I love Day of the Dead! I just finished a funky shovel honoring that event. It's rustic yet elegant in it's own quirky way. Perhaps I'll march with it at the next Dia De Los Muertos event in Nov.

Licenced to Fly

Finally.... I have been in very non productive state since Christmas, but FINALLY I've gotten back outside in between rainy days and created some new stuff. All of course with resurrected material. Now I need to hit the junk stores for some more colorful license plates.
