I just finished with my latest painting a few nights ago and it got me thinking...... I remember some artist's featured in one of the mags a few months back including Jeremy Collins, Renan and a few other artists.
I bet there's a lot of climbers who dabble in art. So post em up!
Cheers, Ammon

the closest thing i've ever done to art. At Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in Seattle i did all of the engineering and custom design for the art installion that blends with the facade/lobby. its a tensioned cable system supporting wire mesh scrims, which lights and images are then projected on.
i've actually never been out there since it was completed, any seatle residents seen it in action?

Not sure you could call it art and I should probably be able to produce something a little higher on the maturity scale, but here's a couple cartoon dealies I did a long time back for a guidebook I was going to do called "100 Routes in Arizona That Don't Suck"

NeverSurfaced:
the whole projected ended up being a huge success, the artist and architectural team were thrilled, and i had a ton of fun designing the structure and fittings and built a small 36x36 model of one corner at full scale. the architect carried it around like it itself was a piece of art. we were really worried about the errection, the strucutre doesn't have any strength until it gets tensioned down and we had no idea how to lift it into place. we were surprised when three guys in sizor lifts just picked it up and hung it in place, no problemo. fortuantly it was pretty lite.

I've always been inspired by the climbing experience. Although I don't know if it qualifies as art, I've found expression in designs that were functional, or wearable, or climbable, etc.

I've always thought that there was a blur between fine craftsmanship and artisticness.
Some of the stuff I am currently working on. The signs are a colaboration with a co-worker:
Eagle:
Eagle Castle Winery Sign:
Unfinished. When finished it will be rust color (actual rust) with textured aluminum backing the letters. Kind of like the eagle on top. For those of you in SLO county this will be on the 46 coming into Paso from the coast.

One more:
Full on custom BBQ. Built to customers size requests. Probably the first and last BBQ I'll build. A lot of hours fabricating. I came up with a couple cool features for this build. Replaceable grill rods that float for heat expansion. Ratchet system for holding grill in place but also allowing easy adjustment up (You can use one finger to spin it up). Actual bearings on the crankshaft for super smooth movement. I made bearings for the grill to ride up and down on too. They keep the grill from tipping side to side.
I even rolled and welded the hand wheels myself.
Last and greatest of all:
From the Great Artist Himself.

Jazzy Woodpecker
A woodpecker that lives somewhere near
has taken up an odd habit.
It flies around to various metal
objects and taps out its
once-wooden staccato beat.
A small aluminum plate attached to
a telephone pole, 3492234765,
is the tinny high-hat, then
a quick flight across to the road "T" sign
for a 10-minute slam
of the mid-cymbal range,
so off it must be jazz.
I get out my drum, laughing
and begin to play along
Flickerbird with Ashiko accompaniment.
The little bird seems to prefer
the 10-12 fast beats
with a 16-20 beat spacing.
Soon, it flies away.
I set down my drum,
thinking the show is over.
Then:
From the huge steel powerline supports
above my property,
I hear the structurally amplified
and familiar rat-tat-tat-tat!
For the phonic finale:
amazing reverberation
for a smallbeak's effort.

Mike. Post up sumthin'! I know photography can be very artsy. My brother prefers his 35mm. He learned from one of the old school. He told me about some of the 'dark' trickery employed in photography (pun intended).
Euroford. I saw a "Euro ford" once. The 1965 T-5. The European versoin of a Mustang. Nowhere did it say mustang, just T5. Nice engineering.
I always get a little nervous when building something totally new. Will it work in reality? It was such a cool idea and it worked on paper. That's what goes through my head as I'm building stuff.

My first love was detailed pen-and-ink stuff, but since I don't own a scanner - well, oh well.
Lately I have been into more three dimension art stuff - the first photo of a familiar place was one of my attempts of "drawing" with glass etching gels.
Photo number two is a "Black Death" plywood sculpture I made to cover the uglya## gable vents on my cabin.
The last photo was my first ever attempt at chainsaw art. Wifey wanted a carved bear - after finding out that most look like crap and those that don't are big bucks - I said what the hey - give it a try - the worst I can do is make kindling.

All right. Corporate Dog gets my vote for most innovative use of scrap wood.
That chainsaw bear is pretty cool for a first attempt. I see a future for you in the chainsaw art world.
...and the horse was actually a first attempt too.
This was my second attempt:
The center heat cracked in the kiln during the last firing and it was too much work to redo, so I just leaded it back together. I actually think I like it better that way.

There are many of us who can appreciate things other than good beer!
I've posted before about a piece of art that isn't mine but that captured my attention. It's a summitstone by DSD. Found this while out climbing. Cool little piece of art. You can see pictures of DSD's work on "summit stones by DSD" on the blogger.com site and also at the clubtread site. My own art is in picture taking which can be a creative effort to!
Nice use of colors!

A Valley Dark
The rock swallows the sun
A final act of anticipation
A cool breath whispers from the valley floor
And the dull clatter of evening presides.
The valley grips and caresses
Pulled by a curious magnetism
And glued to the steep
As the black takes over
It cradles us and rocks us with generosity.

Outsourced it all, except for the design and installation.
But yeah, plamsma cut 1" steel oval and letters, no powdercoating, supposedly powdercoating likes to chip off on really large runs...we hauled it into a spray booth at an autobody shop that specializes in painting semi's and sprayed it with the highest end auto paint and clear overcoat we could buy.

Katie, they're probably cached on your computer, and thus will show up regardless if the rest of the world can see them.
I can't see them in IE6 on XP or Safari on 10.4.6.
OK, went thru the properties, checked them out, nice pics.
Something is wrong with your code. It should look like this but place a [ at the front of it and a ] at the end of it completing the image tags.

I'll kick it off with a funny art story...
A few years ago, I took a job as an art model for a local community center. I explained to my non-artsy mother that I would be posing naked for people so that they could paint me.
"What do you mean they're going to 'paint you?'" she replied, "Paint you with WHAT?!?"
It was hard to supress a smile every time her confused response came to mind while I was posing. I bet that's what happeneded to Mona Lisa.

I can see I will have to go back and check this thread more thoroughly on a faster hook-up.
In connection to a few of the posts on this page, though, from the handy Moments of Being by Raymond Greene:
[meanwhile, back in the British Isles, Oxford University]
"He was accused by his landlady of committing the intolerable nuisance of having what she described as 'pinted ores' in his room. 'And me, I 'as to wash em.' It was only after a long judicial inquiry that it was established that the 'ores' were oars and not whores."

hey there say, paul... wow, how wonderful this is!!! say, longtime back, not sure when, just before 2000? (well, if i'm wrong, it'd be just after) ...
well, there was some really nice art in a store area in and around those coastal areas... i just can't remember which area...
we used to frequent many of those areas, when kids, too, with our folks..
thanks! so much for the link and heads up... :)
edit:
say, paul, you pics just showed!!! now that's the kind i stuff my mom and i love to draw, paint or view...
i'd do more, but i am doing 'people gift projects' ... hope to do some in the future....
i have my blue heron, to do, that is closest to nature, now...
:)
wonderful work you do!!!
ps:
(do you know what to do if you spill linseed oil down the sink drain, by anychance? it was a half cup-three quarters? i kept flushing cold water down the drain, for near a half?? hour....all is well, by now, i am sure--but still, it is not my real house, so i was concerned
*pics have NOT LOADED...so i have no idea how skully's ducks look, yet,
:)

Thanks Neebee for the kind words glad you liked the paintings. Dishsoap will break up the linseed oil... shouldn't be a problem.

hey there paul... say, thanks... i did not 'panic' but i was highly upset...
did not have dishsoap, i reckon it is too late now, but now i KNOW...
(i fixed the area so this will not happen again, i was afraid to use hot water to break it up, too, all because of the words: flamable...
say, when i call my mom, tomorrow, i will let her know ... if they get to GO, with my brother and his wife, i will share all their thoughts...
i know right now, my mom will love it...
well, night night, wheww, wish i had seen you on line, that night of the
'oil spill' but these supertopo guys, were my 'hero support' here...
