Reconstituted Ghost

It's rather sad to stumble upon a ghost who didn't make it back home, limp and formless in the morning dew.

California Dandelion

I got the pleasure of meeting D. Lester Williams and discovered some of his artwork at his residence while I was out and about last weekend. He was accommodating and enthusiastic, willing to answer some of my questions about his craft and let me shoot a few photos.

Below are shots of his California Dandelion, a nifty piece of sculpture created out of 125 wheel covers found along the highways of California.

Give his site a tour and marvel at some of the interesting artwork he's created.

From the interior front cover:

"This is the first issue of a new magazine designed solely for the entertainment and amusement of the reader. We have no lofty plans to better the world; no Quixotic ideals about righting wrongs or airing grievances. That we intend to leave to the many publications already in the field of educating and enlightening society.

"Our sole purpose - in this age of alarms, tensions, cold wars, hot nerves and neuroses - will be to afford the reader a pleasant interlude. If we can bestir a chuckle or an hour spent in relaxation and entertainment, we will feel that our job has been well done. To this end, therefore, we dedicate ourselves to the constant pursuit of what is pleasuring to the eye and delectable to the artistic taste of that section of the public gown weary of gory headlines.

"If we must be accused of leaning in any direction, let it be towards the Rabelaisian rather than getting the facts straight, ma'm' ..."
