Take'n the Back Road

Old pick up trucks and dusty Arizona back roads. This piece is reflective of the artists love for both.

Note: The Saguaro cactus in this piece are actually finished from real Saguaro wood.

A Cabin on the Rim

For some so fortunate "A Cabin on the Rim" may be a very real place in space and time. For others it may be solely anchored in their mind. For either it may offer escape and refuge from the rigors of a contemporary life stile. In an environment whose air is tainted only by the smell of pine one can reunite with the simple joy of breath. In such a place one may gaze in to a limitless star filled sky and recall their place as a part of it all.

4th of July B.R.A.T.S Update-Bisbee Rolling Arts Transport Society

2011-06-30T19:39:00.003-04:00

It was an issue of some concern and debate for a passage of time but . . . The affairs of the world have shifted to a better light ! As much as I would dearly love to be speaking of any one of the numerous challenges to our planetary home at present I’m not. Until such a thing can come closer the following will have to do. Great to announce That the Shop at Rancho Milagrito

will be present this coming July 4th in Bisbee Arizona with an entry in the annual B.R.A.T.S. arts car parade!

This year presented an unusual array of challenges to the Rancho “M” teams ability to be in the running for the highly regarded event. Perhaps the greatest challenge was presented by the untimely loss of the teams transport vehicle itself. It can be said that the very fact that there is at this writing an existing Rancho “M” art car entry is a solid statement in respect to

the level of Rancho “M’s” commitment to the running of the B.R.A.T.S ! Included here dear reader you will find a grouping of images of a car that only 2 days ago did not exist any where on the planet other than in the thoughts of it’s creator.

The car “Creative Block” represents the very best in the recycling of a combination of card board boxes, and a rebirthed B.M.X. bike. Creative Block will be present at a public display ,

and celebratory happening on the the eve of the grand down hill parade of over 20 other art cars to be present on the “4th” ! The Rancho “M” team is proud as well to announce that by special arrangement Miss Katie Williamson will pilot the Creative “B” in the grand parade . Upon discloser of this fact many have been heard to say “Atta girl K. T. !

It's almost that Time Again !
Once again it's almost that time when art comes flying off the walls,and in to the streets of our fare town. July 4th will see the return of the crowd pleasing Bisbee Rolling Arts Transport Society ( B.R.A.T.S.). In the few short years this group of creative folks have staged their event it has become one of the most anticipated events of Bisbee's calendar year. Young and old alike will line Tombstone Canyon to both cheer ,and applaud as these creative forms of motor-less transport pass in review. This is truly a spectacle worth experiencing.

Last year some 25 art cars wound their way down the canyon, to the amazement of an appreciative audience. This years parade could well realize an even greater number of entrants. For those not yet familiar with the BRATS art car parade it can only be said that it is most unique,and down right fun for all. These "any thing goes" creations are rolling affirmations to that very fact that come the 4th any thing can in fact "go",and dose. These cars quickly move away from any ones preconceived notions of what a car can be as they are born purely of a desire to amaze, and entertain.

Worthy of your awe, and your involvement as well. The "BRATS" folks welcome any and all assistance of this gift freely given to the community. In order to make this years event truly the best yet please give a call to the following organizers at the phones listed. Perhaps the experience will inspire you to find your self at the wheel (or handle bars) of your own creation in times ahead . Contact Poe at 236-9182 or Andrew at432-3143

In these times all signs point to the fact that the greatest possibility for peace is centered within your soul, radiating from that point more than any other space on the planet.
