HAC, it's an honor to be included in BRASS GOGGLES. Our art universe keeps expanding, dosen't it?

Interesting that the 'note' says ROBOT brand, and not ROCKET brand, while the blog does the opposite...

Joe

Yes, that's right Hesseltine. When I made the thing, it was intended to be a ROCKET brand. When my wife printed up the big label it came out ROBOT, and we just left it that way. As I recall, it was a rush to get ready for the upcoming show, and everybody was in a big kerfuffle, so easier to just leave it. In spite of the brand-name glitch, it managed to get judges choice and first in category. NOW the trick is to figure how to get people to come by my little gallery http://informiorium.blogspot.com/2009/06/alrigh... to view studio and works for sale.

Who Is This Writer?

My wife blow dries her hair every morning with something very similar to that. I guess the death rays are gentler on hair than hot, dry air.

LOL@whoisthiswriter! If you look closely you might recognise a vacuum cleaner, a large coffee percolator body, 65 Ford Tail-light lens, old copper heater reflector, dentist chair headrest bracket, bicycle handlebar thingie. Inside is a 12 volt motor and 2 way drive from an old OLD paper feed depth finder among other goodies...alas, no hair drier...but I DO have a groovy one that is is to be a jet-pack one day!
