This
Month's Feature
About
Earl's Art Shop:
As a child growing up in Bovina,
Mississippi, Earl Simmons began making
his own toys from cardboard boxes, lids
of baby-food jars, and bottle caps, using
a Coca-Cola bottle for a hammer. Today
he is still constructing "just
toys" and other fanciful creations
which he sells from his studio-gallery,
Earl's Art Shop 'n Bovina, and by
commission to collectors throughout the
United States. His ultimate project and
his fulfillment, however, is his
combined home cafe, workshop, and sales
gallery, called Earl's Art Shop. It is a
series of interconnected buildings he
began to construct himself in 1978.
Created from waste materials and objects
gathered from local sawmills and
landfills, this is a work of art that
Simmons conceived as a community
resource, meeting place, and basis of
income.
Availability: Earl's
Art Shop is now
out-of-print, and new copies are scarce.
Lorelei Books has four new copies in
paperback, signed by Earl Simmons. $24.95
each (does not include shipping).
