Artists Called to be Cocks of the Walk

The item to the right is done. I restrung it this morn. Extraordinary-looking. I must try to find more guitars that I can, uh, deface.

Meanwhile, Spaceman Music on Gladstone Avenue in Ottawa, Canada, donated three cases a day or two ago. Below is one of them. This is a small case which I may make into a rooster for an art contest that Ottawa's Atomic Rooster Bar is holding. The deadline is end of next week. Think of the case standing on end and wings coming from the shoulders of it, feet from the base and then something amazing for a head.

We'll see how this unfolds. The call for artists is below.
