James Akers<p>A little video of Galen's finished "Slumlord" sign. I bent the neon for him, and some of his sign painter buddies helped with the paint design. </p><p>Galen wears the "Slumlord" badge with pride- refusing to raise rent on his property in the rapidly gentrifying Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. The piece is inspired by another landlord with a coin operated gas meter on the stove (quarters for cooking time). </p><p>We love the clickity clackety of the mechanical incandescent bulb flasher in there- Galen mounted it so the whole metal "can" acts as an "amplifier". Galen loves anything mechanical. It was way fun being his Teachers Assistant for the class.</p><p>The ruby red glass in this came from Chihuly "Studio 1" in Tacoma (long since moved to Seattle)</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glassschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glassschool</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seattle</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Tacoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tacoma</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/hilltop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hilltop</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/pilchuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pilchuck</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neon</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/blinky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blinky</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/lightbulbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lightbulbs</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/incandescent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incandescent</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/sign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sign</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/landlord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landlord</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glass</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handmade</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/gentrification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gentrification</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/mechanical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mechanical</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/airplane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>airplane</span></a></p>
