One of those doves looks like Garrick. posted by clavdivs at 2:32 PM on May 12, 2011
I know the artists reasonably well, (well enough to have a conversation when passing on the street, not well enough to invite him to a hot tub party,) to say he's eccentric would be to torture the outer boundaries of the word eccentric.
He lives in his families giant compound in Palm Springs, he has created giant robot dinosaurs of frankly dubious artistic merit all over the yard, so a florescent orange tyrannosaurus made from old vacuum cleaners, spray foam, tires and a VW Beatle peer over a palm tree out of the yard. His big thing is having the biggest Christmas light display in the world, which he very well may. Every inch of the compound gets covered in lights, and it's open to the public.
