Making Art From Junk

To see how I recovered from my fire visit • How He Overcame A Horr... . To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. Like the folks that Chris Anderson describes in his new book, MAKERS, I am hopeful that this video will encourage artists of all stripes from all places to try things and take risks as my friend and colleague (the star of this movie) Michael Leeds suggests.

I absolutely love the film and the sentiment! Michael Leeds is my brother-in-law and it was wonderful to see him in his element.

Mon I met this guy year's ago at a Good Guy's car show, I have a newspaper clipping of him and his car I added to a huge collage of car's truck's on a huge cardboard to hang on the wall. It has to be 15 year's old. I made it year's ago. What a trip an artist on some art I made.

[@barbaraisherwood]

The wisdom in his words about things of purpose as art inspires my own creative journey.

Brilliant. Made me cry.

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Meanqueen Superscrimper Me too! So hopeful and inspiring, after such loss.

[@snoopu2601]

Love it, I got a small scrap bin if metal going to weld some art together. It's taking awhile to build up my scraps. I caught my brother getting ready to scrap out all my metal I was saving. He was going to recycle it for money.

[@leew5624]

Wow, I just found my people! I wish I could make this art a living.

[@steverosse]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing that.

[@RogerJackaman]

I really enjoyed this, its a nice follow up to your film about the firs. I am also quite surprised at how good the sound is from the gopro.

[@farscape3100]

maybe i dont get it.. .yes it holds sentiment but it doesn't mean it makes it art ..if anything it just represents loss not a celebration of what was once a life times work

[@chrissyingram4800]

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

[@ElSmusso]

Fantastic piece of film mr. Hoffman :) reminds me of my grandfathers old tool shed, a fairy tale world when I was a little lad. And the motto, make something good of something bad.... is my job as a music producer :-) btw you have a very good soundtrack. You are a talented guy, man.

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

+ElSmusso thank you. I would love to have seen your grandfather's old tool shed. I come from northern New England where many people had sheds like that and when they passed on, there were Saturday morning sales at the barns that were just wonderful. David Hoffman-filmmaker
