Scrapdaddy at the Artcar Museum

Mark David Bradford, aka Scrapdaddy, has been a major part of the art car scene in Houston for years. The Artcar Museum is hosting a retrospective of his amazing work--metal sculptures, some of them kinetic. Bradford is a master with hydraulics. But beyond the mechanical cleverness, Bradford creates beautiful textures and surfaces with the scrap metal he uses. This is an exhibit you don't want to miss. The video below gives you a feel of opening night.

Scrapdaddy

Last Friday, I was looking for parking for the Poissant Gallery show (great, by the way) and ended up parking next to the Scrapdaddy yard.



The proprietor and creative force, Mark Bradford, was working in the yard, spray painting vehicles. He was getting ready for the Art Car Parade. He invited me to look around. So I literally looked around--here is a 360 view of Scrap Daddy Design:

Neon Poisoning also has a few photos of the yard, too.



This is getting me in the mood for the parade. I'll be there with various brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. Looks like Scrapdaddy is going all out this year--should be excellent.
