secret outing #2

i surprised heather, jackie , and julia with lunch at tio's tacos.
its this crazy sweet mexican restaurant. the food is kinda nothing special. well heather's chicken burrito was real good. so i recommend the chicken burritos.

but better than the food is the crazy art. the owner of the resturant has taken a bunch of random junk and turned it into fountains and statues.
so i never know weather to put the expiation above or below the pictures. today we are going to go with above.

a man and woman made out of toys. the womans dress is made out of barbie dolls. this is a chapel made out of old bottles. there are seats and an alter and a holy water holder thing on the inside. the ceiling is painted . its pretty remarkable.
a muffler band.
all of us! also these benches were pretty cool. they were made out of old bed frames.
mabe i will add more pictures once julia gets hers online.

i have pretty much have been blessed with some stinking awesome friends who accept random outings like this.

so as an art major i am allowed to sit here pondering art and beauty. what is art? is this stuff art? is it junk? does art have to beautiful? aesthetics? color? composition?
kinda off topic, but also related- i realy want to take a welding class. like i think if i got a torch and a bunch of steel i could make something pretty rad. mind you this is just a hypothesis. but i do want to try.

i think its awesome that the first verb in the bible is created. and i mean i am created in God's image. so now i need to get out there and create. and be creative.

Go visit Bill Gardner. Look at his artistic weldings in his yard. Maybe he will teach you- after all, he was right outside the door when you were born.
