Wacky Front Porch Art in Los Angeles

Touring an artist community

Here in San Pedro, California we were thinking about moving into an artist community. I happened across this piece situated in front of one of the live in studios.

There is so much weirdness going on with it that I though it would a fun subject for a Hive post. I don't know anything about the artist, but I sure enjoyed looking at this piece.

Above is a view of the entire piece. I don't know what the artist is smoking, but this is pretty trippy. There is all manner of madness happening.

They have made some little baby goggles out of what looks to be a loose leaf tea infuser. They've welded little spiderweb patterns all over the entire piece. The baby seems to have some kind of antennas and wires coming out of its head.

The seemingly random details add to the weirdness of this piece. First, you see all of the sea creatures welded on here and there. But then you look a little closer....

That's right. there's a dinosaur skeleton. Why not?

While we are at it, why not some airplanes. Makes perfect sense. This piece is a true stream of consciousness.

I'm really not sure that I fully understand what is happening here. I guess it is all open to interpretation.

Oh wait, I just noticed the little army man about to fire on the fuses of what looks to be little bombs. Interesting!

This kid is either part alien, or has been through some serious body modding. He looks like he could do some real damage with those leg spikes.

Even the base is weird. If you look closely, you can see that the whole thing is being supported by tiny elephants. Isn't that how the flat earth is supported? I think I read that somewhere. Sounds legit - and very scientific.

Below is a photo of the common area outside of the studios where the piece is located. I am guessing that it belongs to the studio that has the entrance just to the right of it.

Amanda and I were considering moving into one of these studios but we endeding deciding against it. The owner is a really nice lady who was kind enough to show us around.

The spaces are great, but I'll have to admit. I was really dreading the idea of moving! Just thinking about it makes me want to crawl into bed and sleep for about a week! Now that the virus situation keeping us all inside, it probably ain't happening at all for quite some time.

I think we'll likely be ready to buy a house with some land on it after being trapped in our apartment for so long!
