Doo Dah float designer Dave Lovejoy's art installation leaving

By Michelle on September 30, 2009 10:25 AM | | Comments (0)

Dave Lovejoy is one of the most creative artists I know, but then, I'm partial. Dave was the designer and chief artist for the Gallery at the End of the World's float in this year's Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade. The very same float that served as my outgoing Queen entry!  ~ the awesome and amusing castle on wheels.

 

If that doesn't intrigue you, you may recall that I took a class in Raku pottery earlier this year and created two very cool vessels. Well, he was my teacher. ... Yes, a man of many, many talents....

 

The weekend of the upcoming ArtNight Pasadena, October 9-11, will be the last opportunity to see Dave Lovejoy's "Bouble Vision" art installation in the courtyard at 88 N. Fair Oaks. Ave, Pasadena.

"Bouble Vision" is currently on display 24/7, so you have hardly any excuse not to stop by and see it!

Michelle Mills aka Naughty Mickie

I am a features staff writer for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group, and after seven auditions resulting in five consecutive years spent as a runner-up, I finally, rightfully, became the Queen of the 31st Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade 2007/2008. I love rock n' roll, motorcycles, swords and sushi. I hate sitting still. Read my blog regularly to bring some excitement into your otherwise dull existence. Oh, and you may stop kneeling now and carry on -- as you were...
