Rustic Steel Creations
The Hillsborough Arts Council had a community field trip and had a great privilege and time at the famed Rustic Steel Creations studios in Seminole Heights. An imaginary studio where concepts turn into fantastic art creations. All the metal glistening dragons, enormous glimmering fish, exotic privacy gates and composed land art pieces all around the Florida and the Tampa Bay area are a fixation. made out of old parts at the corner of Highlands Ave and MLK, Jr Blvd.
We were so happy to get invited to see a broader spectrum of the metallic works, the understanding of how the creations were conceived and a chance to meet up with artist and his team.
Rustic Steel Creations founder Dominique Martinez is a welding artist with a passionate love for making custom sculptures, banisters and gates from steel, aluminum and iron. Dominique and his artist team look at working with the metals as an art form and approach each new project like creating a piece of visionary and imaginative art.
His fervent humor and description of many pieces starting concepts were truly letting his inner expanding reflection of the rustic materials he has materialized and molded.
His work is best described by the pieces that you may recognize all around the Tampa Bay area. Metallic shiny dragons on top of buildings, chickens in the lawn at HCC Ybor, to many pieces that are at Busch gardens. Hats off to a great community artisan.
You Just Can Not Make This Up
Easter 2017 just brought back a memory from Easter at the SunCoast Resort. There were 20+ business at the Suncoast. One Easter the merchants all came together to pass out Easter Eggs. Each merchant packed 500+ eggs with Coupons and gifts from their stores. Then we rented a Easter Bunny costume to pass out the eggs. The SunCoast resort didn’t like the idea. So they packed their eggs with…… Sand. Yes SAND and thought it was very funny when the eggs were tossed out and hit people. But the big joke was on them. Customers un taped the resorts eggs in the bars, restaurants and hotel rooms. There was sand everywhere. LMAO
