My Leetle Friend
One of my favorite artists/people is Kai. He visits us at the shop and drinks all of our coffee. He uses found objects to create art with a welding machine and blow torch. To say he is an interesting character would be an understatement. The picture above is a lobster made from ceiling fan parts and a Christmas tin he swiped from me. He is currently working on something he describes as a turbine. It has a motor. If he doesn’t lose any fingers while creating it, I’ll post pics when it is completed. This is his bio:
Kai Urushihara
Height: 5ft 7in
Weight: 165 lbs.
Class: Warrior/Scientist
Occupation: Unemployed
Hobbies: Welding, Farming, Human History, Philosophy, Potato Mongering, Cooking
Kai likes to work with metal because metal is tough and forgiving. If the metal is in a shape he doesn’t like, he just bashes it with a rock until he likes it.
Kai is described by many as an enigma. He is also an egomaniac: He wrote this bio while pretending to be someone else!
Likes: Seafood, coffee, potatoes, explosions
Dislikes: Spicy food, things-that-kill-me, Floors
This piece that Darren is wearing is made from an old water heater. It’s so heavy, Darren was actually 4 inches shorter when he took it off. True story…
