Tour de (Tricycle) Lance

It’d been a while since I’d checked out philinthecircle’s YouTube channel, so today I dropped by. He’s just uploaded this video made by throwing baseballs coated in paint, but this Lance tricycle portrait from a few weeks ago is a glorious gem of patience and creativity.

Putting the tricycle together was really time consuming because I had very little metal to attach my extension to. After getting the extension figured out I quickly attached the bucket, tubing, and wrapped it all with electrical tape. I ended up at the hardware store dozens of times on this piece and when I went to get paint I had my colors picked out that I wanted and got an inquisitive look from the guy, cause you gotta admit these would be unusual colors for a room.

Stop by his blog to see some behind the scenes pics and read more on the making of this piece.

    I could never imagine actually going through the process of doing this. Like you said: tons of patience.
