I don't usually dedicate a post ,but today this post is dedicated to my dear husband. He is a artist of junker model cars in 1/24th scale and I've shown you his cars and
etsy shop "classicwrecks" before. The big news is that this month (June), he was written up on two pages in Top Gear UK magazine (on pages 103 and 105). The magazine is out across the pond and doesn't come out in the USA till June 15th. You can find it in Barnes and Noble stores! We are so very excited that he got a mention. Top Gear is a TV show all about cars and is quite entertaining and funny. There is a show in UK and there is a USA version too. I am including a scan of the fabulous article today to share with you all.
I also made a little ATC in his honor. I stamped the 100 proof press
Gilded Picture Frame #4058 and surrounded a Gecko Galz image from the
Man o Man Collage Sheet. Some cardboard, brads, painted metal gears and some hand painted rust complete this piece. The sentiment reads "You are the king of the world", which is what my husband is! I am also entering this in the
Art with no Boundaries challenge Anything goes Heavy Metal.
Hope you get to spend some time in your favorite car this week.
take care, gerri

Wow! That's so cool! My hub and I watch both the UK and US versions of Top Gear. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteGerri, This a fantastic piece, made all the more special because of the story behind it. I also think it's quite cool that you included some excerpts from the magazine your Husband was published in and it was nice to be able to read what it actually had to say. I also love the title of the article "One Man's Junk" I guess the same can be said about art sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us on Art With No Boundaries. I really enjoyed all of it, the art, the story behind it and your Husband's work.
