ART

Michael Topley, drummer for Alien Father, has recently gone public with a hobby that’s been consuming a lot of his free time throughout the fall and winter.  He’s been using found lamp guts and shades and replacing the crapped-out bases with his own painted sculptures… creepy faces, mostly.

His first set of five (not including the first one he made for his gf Tiff around a year ago) are available for purchase via Etsy & fanhood is available via his new FB page.  Either way, check’m out… here’s how he describes the venture:

Almost a year ago, in time for my girlfriend Tiffany’s birthday, I made her a lamp. Some of you may have seen it:

After that, and after having way too much time on my hands, I decided I wanted to produce a line of these “face lamps” (as I call them). Almost a year later, I have my first line of five. They are, (in the order they were made): “The Unsatisfied Customer“, “Get It (Get It?)“, “I Was a Teenage Frankenstein“, “For All the Suckers“, & “The Professor (Idiot)“.

I plan to sell these at flea markets or online or both, under the name Lamp Man. In the next few days, I will set up an Etsy account. If anyone is interested in buying one, please feel free to message me.

I am currently working on a second line of five, and I can’t tell you when those will be out. Probably not for awhile. Thank you for looking at my tangs and I hope you enjoy.
