Fixtures for the new Patagonia store in SoHo, NYC...

I recently worked with Patagonia Ambassador Brittany Griffith (thanks B.A.G.!) to build a series of fixtures for her to install at the Patagonia New York SoHo store. The three pictured here are the most recent ones. The two above are in the front window and the one below graces the elevator tower. We also did three small and two large versions of the same style back in November that hang in front of the stairs. And thanks to Justin Wood for the rope and crate help on those...

I'm pleased with how they came out. Once they're merchandized they should be working tirelessly...

Here are some process photos just for fun...

Lost Arrows! Let's get started...

The cutting begins.

Let the calculations begin...

Keep it straight.

Almost ready for primetime...

Eroded Planes & Asymptotic Approach Available at Urban Vintage

Eroded Planes

I've got a couple of new pieces of artwork and a couple of frames for sale right now down at Urban Vintage (see earlier posts for more detail) in the back of The Green Ant downtown.

Eroded Planes and Asymptotic Approach (aka Tau Totem) are the two sculptures available. Check 'em out and say hi to the boys next time you're down that way.

Asymptotic Approach... detail

And the two frames I mentioned...

Scala Parallela is SOLD!

A nice surprise was waiting for me when I got home after a fortnight and a half. Josh at Urban Vintage had sold another piece of mine, Scala Parallela. This is one of my recent faves, so I was both happy and sad to see it go. Ironic, eh?

Big thanks to Josh for continuing to provide me with the opportunity to show (and sell) my steel sculpture in his amazing store.

Homage to Nicholas Roerich is still for sale (the smaller piece on the left) as are a couple of other pieces... (FYI, it's more than a dollar...)

Road Trip!

Hurtling north on Highway 550

Well, for any of you that missed me... I'm back! I'm now home from a three-week road trip for Thanksgiving. Twenty days, nearly 4,000 miles, four cities, lots of good friends and family and a TON of art. Just what the doctor ordered...

And yes, as you can see above, the light in New Mexico is NOT over hyped...

More art-related nuggets from the trip soon!

Timothy C. Ely's New Show, THE IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPE, is a MUST SEE!

Ironically (and astutely), it was Tim himself who suggested that I show ONLY my work and process on this blog. I have largely taken his excellent advice to heart recently. That's why you'll see much less about making art in general, other artists, favorite things from the interwebs, etc.

BUT... since Tim is a great friend and mentor to me and an artist of astonishing depth and vision, I simply HAD to break my new-ish rule and put this up! This show features some of his best non-book work (in my not-so-humble opinion) and you can own a small slice of Tim's brilliant mind for a very good price. Strike while the iron's hot!

I'm about 11 days late in getting this posted, but I hope you'll check the show out in person or online (see link below or jump in your car, plane, seacopter, etc.).

Art Spirit Gallery — Timothy C. Ely in Coeur d'Alene, ID...

The work is on display through November 2, 2014 so there's still time.

Everything in this show is quintessential Ely, which in my book (pun intended) adds up to a magical, captivating, compelling, encrusted, patinated, multi-dimensional, mesmerizing and amazing ride.

Your mileage may vary—but I doubt it!

Working on Some New Fixtures for a Store in SoHo...

Here's a teaser... More when I can share it... ;-)

Bifurcation III is SOLD!

Apparently, Bifurcation III is now living a life of being a sculptural addition in a condo show model downtown. I'm still trying to get a photo of it in situ and I'll post that here when I do. The shot above is it pre-sale in the window at Urban Vintage...

And I have a couple of small new pieces available for purchase at Urban Vintage (behind the Green Ant) in downtown SLC. There are also a few Hypercubes and another piece for sale as well, along with tons of cool stuff that Josh has on hand. Check it out!

And no, they're not a dollar. I had taken the shot earlier and put the bill in for scale.

The piece on the left is called Homage to Nicholas Roerich and the one on the right is Scala Parallela. Both are mild steel.

And the Hypercubes look something like this...
