I spend what seems like 20 hours a day attached to my computer, but when I’m not, I sometimes seek out some of the arts. Some time ago, my wife and I headed out to the Tempe Festival of the Arts, where we found plenty of great artists, but one that stood out was Adam Homan and his metal sculptures.
The sculpture above is called “Speed Junkie” from what I can gather and I just love it. I loved a lot of his work, in fact. I was sure to grab one of his photo-postcards as a reminder that one day I’d have to buy one. I haven’t bought one yet, but that day will come, I’m sure.
About Adam
When I saw him in person, he was busy with a (hopefully) paying customer, so I didn’t want to bother him, but judging from his site, he’s a laid back guy with a sense of humor. Here’s what his site says:
Originally an 8th grade English teacher, Adam left teaching for the arts and has been sculpting full time for 14+ years now. Adam is one of the premier steel sculptors in the country and his work is included in the collections of Pixar Animation, Industrial Light and Magic, Clint Eastwood, and various private and corporate collectors.
The Female Form and Other Things
Adam has some cool robot sculptures, but I think one of my favorites is the one seen at right called “Self Made Woman“. It’s more than I can budget for art at the moment, but it’s smart and fun to look at. This piece is part of his Female Form pieces which includes other fun female-themed sculptures.
Having done this for so long, Adam has amassed a wide array of sculptures that crawled out of his imagination over the years, including birds, fish, dinosaurs, dragons, trolls, etc. Rather than listing them all out, I’ll let you take a look for yourself. While some are in more of an art enthusiast’s price range (from what I can recall), smaller sculptures were priced for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks for some awesome art work, Adam!
