Vintage METAL ART SCULPTURE by LeBlanc Gulf SHRIMP BOAT

sold for $78+

 

I just can’t imagine how many hours it must have taken to create this metal shrimp boat with all its deck equipment, nets, rigging, gaffs, life preservers, barrels, chum buckets and ropes (lines). The creator was not only a talented sculptor; he also had to study shrimping. I’m betting he learned a lot just in research. After all, we sometimes take the little things for granted. (Personally, I don’t. I give the little things a lot of thought. Take, for instance, the time I spend thinking about my all-time personal hero.)

 

Oops! I guess we’d better talk about the piece of art first. We’ll get to my hero worship in a jiffy. Is it fine art? Well, of course not, but it's lots of fun and someone you know would love it. If you got to know yourself a little better, you may even love it yourself.
The metal takes a magnet, but the surface is worked up to look for all the world like brass and copper. You’ll see a few pieces that look like turned wood. That’s because they are. The base is a 11 ½” by 9 ½” slab of burl cut a full 2 ¼” think, and it’s a beauty.

 

The shrimper itself is a foot long and it stands a whopping 26” tall.

 

Amazing detail!

I’m reminded of those “little things” almost daily, and I’ll bet you would be as well if you just paused to think. When your valet or butler brings a little snack out to you while you’re in your solarium shaping and contemplating one of your Bonsai trees, do you ever think of the rugged Gulf Coast shrimpers who risked their lives to bring you shrimp for that scampi. How many countless seamen have lost their lives so we can have our sashimi? Probably the hardiest of all are the men and women who give us crabs.

 

Just LOOK at all that deck equipment! That rugged life filled with hardship is what first got me to thinking about my all-time hero – a man whose life was filled with hard work even though his own personal indiscretions nearly destroyed his life at one time in his youth. Actually, it was basically caused by war in Southeast Asia, but that’s not a real excuse for years of hedonism at the level he maintained.

 

Sorry. I got off track there for a second. The piece is signed “LeBlanc.”

Anyhow . . . after years of self abuse and the alienation of almost all his friends, this hero of mine reached down deep in his own soul, recovered and eventually his name became practically a household word.

 

Isn’t that a beautiful piece of wood?

I’m sure I’ve already given it away. You’ve probably already guessed the name of my personal hero – a role model really.

 

He did many things, one of which was helping a man with a learning disability build a thriving business in spite of his own physical pain.

 

I’m speaking, of course, of Lieutenant Dan.

 

Look at all those harpoons and hooks and other stuff I’ve never seen before.

 

If you don’t appreciate the efforts of shrimpers, you’ve probably never had a fishbone stuck in your throat.

 

So I guess that's all I have to say about that.

 

GOOD LUCK

DAN IS NOT INCLUDED. I sorta collect images of him.

RANDOM QUOTE

while in madison i was reading AMERICAN THEOCRACY by kevin phillips. i hit the meat. published in 2007, it addresses what happened in the waning days of bush-

-unexpected federaal budget surplusses replaced them(deficits) in 1998, 1999, and 2000. still buoyed by this, a heady GWB, weeks after taking office in 2001, delivered the state of the union and budget messages proposing to both "pay down an unprecedented part of our national debt" and "double our Medicare budget over the next decade."

ya. of course midass touch did THE OPPOSITE.

-As for rising public consumption and its flip side, nonexistent personal savings, that duality also had excuses. did people really need to save in banks when the values of their assets-stocks and real estate-were climbing like rockets? wise or not(NOT), these were staple explainations.

-Roach, the chief economist at morgan stanley, described the fed chairman as a 'serial bubble blower.' by 2004 others spoke about an echo bubble or a double echo or even referred to greenspan as chairman bubbles. the expansion of debt was huge, indisputable, and a topic of spirited national conversation.

-the fed's policies, however shrewd were not rooted in an abstraction of the national interest but in the pursuit of its statutory mandate to protect the US banking and payments system, now inseparable from from the broadly defined financial-services sector. to this end, the 2001-2003 rate cuts extended a more than two-decade pattern, relentless under greenspan, of slapping large green liquidity band-aids on any financial wound that might get infected.

-in mid 2004, the center for public integrity tabulated the leading lifetime patrons of GWB: the big four were MORGAN STANLEY, MERRILL LYNCH, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, AND MBNA, the credit-card giant. the family's background also blended these same origins and commitment. no presidential clan has been so involved in banking, investments, and money management over so much time.

and georgee STILL managed t kill wall street AZND every business he ever touched.

-"the money that's made from manufacturing stuff is a pittance in comparison to the amount of money made from shuffling money around. 44% of all corporate profits in the US come from the financial sector compared with only 10% from the manufacturing sector." -ray dalio

-if history teaches us anything, it's that this so-called cutting edge finance is an accident waiting to happen, despite claims by the so-called new-macro economists that derivatives are tame and BENIGN and that national debt and deficits are manageable within a new global savings pool in which national boundaries no longer matter so much. even alan greensapn occasionally owned to uncertainty about where speculators and new credit instruments-hedge funds and derivatives in particular-might be taking the country.

looks like it headed straight towards implosion, EH?

-we can only wonder which one would have been most appalled: george washington, who in the early 1770's decried london creditors for their treatment of virginians: benjamin franklin, who deplored debt; john adams, who publicly loathed banks; or thomas jeffersonn, who feared the rise of a financial elite(i am gonna say tom). lincoln, who put labor ahead of capital, would have been equally displeased. likewise the 2 roosevelts, theodore and franklin. even the lessons of greece and rome were relevant, as the men deliberating in 1787 had known from their readings

history matters!

-in 1908, as we have seen, winston churchill, then president of the british board of trade, vented a similar historical interpretation in finding 'the seed of imperial ruin and national decay" in " THE UNNATURAL GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR" and "the swift increase of vulgar jobless luxury"


i am sure more to come.

RANDOM 341 OBJECT-FUNNY

Contemporary BOX w MAORI HEAD Sculpture EASTER ISLAND
sold for $9.50? i shoulda bid!

 


I’m a sucker for boxes, and I’ll buy just about any that cross my path. When I spotted this one with its striking (and heavy) mask in the likeness of the monolithic statues on Easter Island, I just had to have it.

 

It measures 10 ¼” by 5” by 5” to the tip of his nose when you have it laying down flat on a table.

 

I don’t know what the face is made of, but it’s heavy. I’m guessing composition of some sort since the box isn’t very old at all.

DANG! I must be getting old! I could have at least brushed that thing off his upper lip. That looks horrible! It looks like something’s hanging out of his nose. Let’s try that again.

 

HOLY $#*# !

They got me again. It’s a danged tissue box. Oh well . . . The Maori on Easter Island are fascinating, especially what happened in the 1770s. More on that in a jiffy. I’ve gotta go take a nerve pill.

 

The black part is plastic, and I think this is quite possibly the kitschiest thing I’ve run across in a spell.

 

Sometime around 1770 or so, war broke out between two parties. I don’t know who – don’t care frankly. They were Polynesian: That’s the important part, and I think I like the way they have a war. (That is, of course, if this is all there was to it.) One of the warring factions tipped over all those big stone statues. It didn’t happen overnight, but eventually they all got tipped over.

 

Just as I suspected. Dang! I try not to buy that stuff. I’d certainly never buy it new from a real store on purpose. I like American stuff, which is why I’m totally out of underwear right now. You can call me “Commando 341.”

 

But anyhow . . . Maybe we should present this to the U.N. When one country has a beef with another, they could just do a night raid (something like those panty raids we did back in the old days at college) and tip over the other guy’s statues.

That peeing boy over in the Old Country someplace would be a good place to start. If someone has a bone to pick with us, they could call me, and I’d give them directions to Oklahoma where there’s a sixty foot tall monument of a set of goofy-looking hands. They could tip that rascal over and the national IQ would probably go up a few points.

 

Well that certainly wasn’t very nice, now was it.

GOOD LUCK

I just know I’ll get emails from people down there - Not about the hands though. They’ll be asking, “Does the box of tissues come with it?”

Q: i think the tomato soup gave him heartburn
A: Since it's been under my photo lights for at least five years, it is more likely food poisoning. Thanks-a-million, Dennis

Joyful HUMMEL Girl PLAYS BANJO w Mysterious Issue

I don’t know whether to be overwhelmed with grief or giddy from joy, but this Hummel has turned my life around.

Don’t you think it’s sad that some people go through almost an entire lifetime never knowing what they were meant to do? There are those, you know, who have a rare talent but never discover it for any of a hundred reasons. Sometimes, even when they do, their personal circumstances stand in the way. Some are “called.” Others wander through the decades in search of something eating away at them – although they can’t put their finger on it.

Well . . . After finding this Hummel with a fairly serious issue, I discovered way too late in life that I do, in fact, have a special talent.

 

I’m a Hummel Whisperer.

 

We’ve done a thorough investigation, and we’re almost positive it was a suicide. As to motive, that may forever remain a mystery, but most of us think it’s pretty simple.
We believe she simply awoke one morning and realized she was a Hummel, . . .

 

so the original paper tag may have not been entirely accurate.

 

Be frank with me: Is there a market for “Hummel heads?” Don’t hold back. I’m a big boy. I can handle the truth.

 

Hummeliacs know what all that means. I don’t, and please don’t tell me. My brain is shrinking as I age – which is strange. My earlobes and all three of my front teeth are getting longer. Who came up with THAT idea!?

 

Do you realize - If she could stand up straight she’d be almost 5 ¾” tall? But she can’t.

CONDITION: There is a tiny ding on the back of her head and some crazing. Other than that and that thing with the head, she’s perfect.

 

It’s a pretty clean break. A drop of so of some modern glue will do the trick. If a houseguest reaches for her to examine her, smack his hand. You’ve got plenty more friends anyway, and most of them aren’t that nosy.

Gotta go! I’m piled high with antiques from three local estates – plus stuff I’ve had since Noah wore short pants.

fri. the highway to spring green was shovel ready in spots, my cousin drove and we tried to take it, but it cot too bad going to black earth, so took the detour i found, accidently passed our DOT detour, but my grandpa taught me to ignore what they say. so we went back to KP and turned NORTH. we saw a big doe acting like a squirrel. got off the road, but going back, but i knew she REALLY wanted to cross. we did not hit her. and continued on the PRETTIEST drive, to hwy 19, west to hwy 78 a bit + got back on 14. found my space. good spot, but a alley right there-breezeway. as sarah is 6'1", putting everything up is a breeze. on the way back we tried the DOT detour. dark, so hard to tell if it was nice.

sat. nice weather again, but cloudy. which was good. sunny spot. set up art, but the cro
's glass had gotten damaged, the bear fell over and another broken glass. i dropped a little one, mom dropped one trying to hang them. and yes. i am barefoot. only stabbed trying to pick up some glass.
almost done by the start. hardware nearby recut the glass. got some bigger s hooks. spilled my coffee. and sat and as usual, very slow nothing. but i never epect anything til 11 anyways. and then BAM! this woman 40/50ish walks in starts grabbing 5x7 framed prints($15) has a bunch and comes towards me, then grabbes 3 bigger ones 11x8.5($20/$25). picks a few out of her pile, and then says a person will be by to pay. a minion comes back later and i add it up--$155, and i wrap them up. after they are gone i look at the check. epic something. she certainly acted like a CEO. most small sales off + on, but $15 adds up. did pretty good considering the Wecession. had a few sprinkles of rain. too much sun, but had liquids this time. was a little windy.
closed up. left everything up. decided to take pretty home. was shorter than DOT even with all the curves and hills. i like curves and hills.
got to madison about 7, but there were PRETTY clouds, so before going to sarah's, hit the owen parkway's overlook. and got back just in time for BEER CAN CHICKEN! did not TASTE like beer. too stormy for back yard. ate in the dinningroom. fancy. had corn too. but the storms went north + south. just rain + cleared by 10. sowindows open.

sun. lazy breakfast when we hear very loud chipping from dinningroom. sounded inside, so we go in there. and since we had 1 briefly in the backyard last year i KNEW it was a catbird, tho i could not see it's rusty spot. so, for a few seconds we wer maybe 5 feet away with a perfect shot of it's black 'mohawk'. good omen? HA!
mom is worried my tent is in disarray, but i wanna take pics on the detour. she DID weigh it down w/ 2 water filled cat litter jugs hanging from each corner. so, took N KP, got pictures. will download those for tomorrow. the tent was as we left it. but before i set up, i walked across the street to look at another artist. very cool stuff. will get her web eddress. she paints guache over woodcuts. VERY NICE. she had cards, i picked out 3 and she said i could have them. no barter. she can have a print. or 2. but alas. like last year, we did not have a breeze like sat. we had gusty wind. many people lost tents. or had issues. she lost hers, so she was busy. and she was alone. i had issues too, and if sarah handn't bungie tied the top of the tent to the metal frame in 2 spots....
mom or people would hang on to the tent for big gusts and then the bigger cheap framed frog print committed suicide. more glass. we had taken some biger ones down in the windiest spots, but that was a clue, took that side down completely, but was good, i could get out of the sun + into the tent. and peole could see the neighbors carved walking sticks. luckily the one i really liked didn't sell. has a deer horn on it. not ven a 2 point. more like 2 buds. guess i need to take pics. it wasn't as good as the 1st day, but never EVER is better. unless an original sells. and more framed sales. AND i sold a crow print to a guy. his wife was with mom not liking crows. AND i sold a framed guinea hen, tho the guy said it will be a 'turkey'. that is ok. turkey=guinea hen. a sale is a sale. i sold the rhino as a warthog. the rooster can play a parrot. 6 is better than 3.
at the end i went over w/ a few prints and said she could have some. she took a dog and not sure. 2. got her card. love her chickens.
found out we did't take the best KP detour, so took that. it was nice, but the 1st KP was the BEST. drive home banal + long.
yes, i got burned on sat a bit. sun scree for sun. it was not hot unless in the sun.

RANDOM ESTATE SALE

before i go + forget. yesterday i did an estate sale the only day possible. 1st day. and still a liine to go in. only 10 in the house at a time. huge old 1880's or so brick home that had been a dr's house/office. looks like he stopped doing medicine in the 40's maybe. loved the deco xray machine. house was interseting, but dim and dusty and needed an airing. a GOOD WASH. full price, and not much i wanted anyways. but i did spend $4, will post my haul AFTER spring green. but here's the pics. i guess the house had been hidden by overgrowth in the yard. i bet it was stuck in probate. seemed it had been boxed up for decades i bet. i'd love to see the 'after' pics. and it was just blocks away from the framing shop i go to. my new roakill not ready. then off to organic food store. so, full day. his office was a pit. as was his little lab. why so few pics. maybe do a exterior shot before bay view frolics.
