I’m going to reclaim my old Huffy from my parents’ house sometime this summer and turn it into an art-bike. What my idea is, is to strip it down and paint it metallic green. I wanna cover the seat in green faux snakeskin, and put eyes (possibly clear blinky lights with “googly eyes” glued in […]

I started busting down my garage. Well, last weekend, my parents were down visiting, and they brought crowbars, too, and their might and tools combined with my might and tools means that This is now this. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
