Five members of the Scathain family tackled this tall order. The end result is nothing but perfection and beauty. <br>
The antiqued mirrored ceiling is a Scathain gem. Each tile hand cut and mirrored at our studio. It now lives in a room surrounded by original big named art and my home town hero, John Wilde. <br>
Wilde was an artist from my home town. I was introduced to him at a young age. I always looked up to him, respected him and apprecieated his passion. To walk into that room and know that the creative collective that I am a part of made something beautiful that stands in the greatness of Mr. Wilde along with the French poster guy and the other dude that made some pop art, ran a factory, and helped some band that liked bananas and heroin.<br>
Living the dream.<br>

I wanted the bottle rack to look like it was salvaged from the ashes from the original Pizza Man location. <br>
Its such an honor to work with an object that is so beautifully crafted and designed. We truly have the best resident black smyth at Scathain. Each day I learn something new.</p>

The crane was salvaged from a foundry in Beloit Wisconsin. It now stands at a local hotel. <br>
The crane was finished through. A traditional patina process.</p>

You are blood, my unconditional friend. I will miss your phone calls on your drive home from the shop...or the guess what cuz that always ended in I love you. Your smile, your life and generosity moved this world in a better direction. You taught me the difference between a 63' vet and a 65' by age 9. High octane gas, 45's and old HotRod magazines take on a new meaning without you. I love you.<span style="background-color: #444444;"></span></span></span></span><br />
