Old Hippies

Many of us come from an era in societies history when "hippies" were the new outrage. Ah yes, the 60's. Well some haven't outgrown the genre. I just finished this piece for a client who still believes in Love, Peace and Happiness...Make Love, Not War...Flower Children, etc.

Prints and note cards are available from the world headquarters of Simpson Gallery here in Montrose, Colorado. Contact me if you are interested. Peace!

An Old Smoking Stand

Been looking for an old smoking stand like I remember my grandpa had for his cigars back in the day. The one he actually had was similar to this one but the ash tray part had a glass tray with a rubber Firestone tire around it...or it may have been a Goodyear.  Don't remember which exactly. For some reason I thought it was a Firestone tire. I've found some small versions with Goodyear tires around them but not the Firestone.

ANYWAY...this is the closest I've been able to come up with. This one I got yesterday in Abilene, KS in an antique store. Supposedly it came out of an old hotel there. Thought it was pretty cool so I tried it out on the bench out front and bought it. Now I Just have to figure out how to bungy it onto the Harley so I can get it home. Thought maybe Kathy could just hold it but she threatened to whack me with it on the helmet so I guess that won't work. I'll figure something out.

We're headed home in the AM. If you tried the video link in the previous post and it didn't work, it should now.

Later. Thanks for stopping by.
