Witches House in Laguna Beach

9/28/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Unusual homes, found no where else on earth, are one of the many reasons I am working on an architectural tour featuring unique residential and commercial structures in Laguna Beach.  The Witches House was built from 1924 to 1929 by Vernon Barker.  This house has many odd angles and irregular shingles with steep gables as high as 60 feet tall.  Later, Mr. Barker was the chief architect for the UCLA Medical Center.  Stay tuned for my architectural tour coming soon!

Giant Green Iguana Christmas present?

9/23/2013

Picture
Recently I received a message from my good friend and artist, Jim Marshall.  He asked if I could help him sell a few of his pieces.  I have always been in love with his "Giant Green Iguana", so now I want to find him a good home.  He has been temporarily hanging out at a local gallery here in Laguna Beach for the last year and is now ready for a permanent home.
  • Weighs 300 to 350 lbs
  • 7' long, 4' wide, 24" tall
  • Made from tractor track, roller chain, rebar and a
    high fire ceramic head
  • Cost is $5,000 plus tax and shipping
This unique iguana would make a lovely Christmas present!  If you are interested, please email me at lagunabeachwalks@gmail.com.  You can see additional pictures of the iguana and the artist on my "Giant Green Iguana" link on my website.

Love seeing the Garibaldi fish in Francesca Zobeck's "Water Wall" as I walk to the beach at Anita Street.  We stroll by this abstract representation of the ocean and its marine wildlife during the HIP District Tour.

Homeless artist Gisberto Bertucci

Just about every day I see Gisberto Bertucci at Main Beach.  He is a homeless artist who draws people's portraits on Starbucks coffee lids.  I hear the Starbucks in Newport Beach hangs his work on their walls.  When you see Gisberto in Laguna Beach, tell him "Ciao"!
