Another whimsical piece of mine if I may so

That is quite imaginative. If you haven't named it yet may I recommend "Sailing".

It sure beats nailing a banana to the wall.

Just in case, this different angle of the pic explains better my title, "Antiplanxa" as I said in the description. As per beating nailing a banana to the wal I think it does beat that video of a guy who piles up a few buckets filled with sand, and makes a hole on the bottom one so that the sand exits through it and eventually unbalances the whole column and they fall, and the most surprising thing is that people that are watching it applaude! I've tried to find it to upload it but I didn't find it, but I'm sure any of you have seen it. P1100868.JPG
 
I love this piece, Toni! You have a talent for creating the illusion of movement in a static item. :clap: I can't believe that my twisted mind has never thought of the idea of an anti-iron to put wrinkles into clothes. :D
 
Toni, bravo!!! Another home run of a piece of work!! I will echo Vaughn's comment as he says it so fluently. I don't understand the banana on the wall remark (no offense intended) but if you carved it, I would hang it on my wall!!!
Thanks for the second picture, questions still remain, is the iron real or carved (I am betting carved). Is the iron attached to the piece (or was this all one piece and you eliminated the rest?). I love your work (and knowing I know you personally!). I will have to show this to CJ, he has your artwork from the cafe framed and hanging on his bedroom wall.

The comment about the banana on the wall was in no way meant to disparage Toni's art. His art is beautiful and thought provoking and highly creative.
The banana on the wall, well, it is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

The banana on the wall refers to all the hubbub that was in the news when a comedian duct taped a banana to a wall and the art world went nuts over how artistic and creative it was. It was auctioned off for $6.2 million by Sotheby's proving that that an idiot and his money can be parted.

Here is a video telling the story.

Hi Mike. I never took it as such, on the contrary. As matter of fact I wish I could sell mine for only half of that price.:bang:. What I wonder is what happened to the banana after a few days, I guess that then it would be called "decaying art":rofl:.
To me certain pieces of nowadays art are absolute scams, since I knew that many of those pieces are bought by insurance and investment companies to make their value raise, so that later on they can sell them to excentric millionaries like the chinese guy who bought the banana.
My intent is more humble, if I can make you rise an eyebrow when seeing it, I am happy.
And no need to apologize for your comment at all. Sometimes in this family we are too concerned about criticising each others jobs.

That changes everything. 1st I saw a paddle creating ripples on the water. I didn't pay attention . Nice illusion.
