  • Stoked for a new Art Drop Episode and today I'm swinging for the fences by welding a Custom Metal Art DRAGON! This one goes out to my boy Danny, as another commissioned art piece and I was SUPER thrilled with how it came out. Although tedious and really far from my comfort zone as an artist, I gave it a crack and it turned out pretty dope (IMO.)

    Have been study art for years, did that on uni later and worked on Damien's Hirst big scale projects as a metalworker (lots of welding) and havent seen something like it. It has enormous potential. Just stick with abstract and work on composition. Go up with scale. You will appreciated more than you imagine. Take a shot with art galleries. Just do not go there with dragons and keep the artistic media within pure metalwork. It's very inspiring

      @@PacificArcTigWelding that's going to be the tough part about commission work. I have sold and given away some of the nicest stuff I've made. Sometimes it's really hard to let go but it's really cool knowing I'm not the only one that enjoys my work.

    Wow man, you make my daily work look like child's play 😱. Good job bro👍. Although I think the paint wasn't a good idea because you got the colours perfect with just your free hand on metal, it makes it look more identifiable as a weld job instead of art piece bought in a market. How do you control the width and height? Can you do something simpler in aluminium?

    • @PacificArcTigWelding

  • @minimonkey969
    @minimonkey969 Před 3 lety +1

    U should do the entire thing from tig welding and learn to work the colors through the heat of the weld to make it more elaborAte. The sprAy paint is cheap.

    Hey Dusty. You have been a huge asset for my welding! Now I have a question and didn't know where to ask. I need to fasten some ss screen to a 1/8" edge of aluminum. The aluminum is a 10" circle with a disc of stainless fastened to it. Can this be done with tig? I'm thinking the aluminum would bond thru the holes in the screening. The holes are about 1/8" for one screen and another with 1/12" holes. All help greatly appreciated.
