That's still standing.
That's a good thing.
The base is an old TV cabinet with legs from a old armchair.
This is old piano legs.
And that used to be a mirror.
The arms came off a mannequin from Macy's when they went out of business.
The little birds in hand, they're just doorknobs.
My name is Nick Reddick, and I do art, pop art and upcycle projects.
I rescue things from the trash.
I can see value in things where other people can’t.
And so I like to save things, make them useful or make them pretty so that they're wanted.
My art will grab you.
There's a lot of color.
You know, I don't always get a good reaction, like, because I make weird stuff too.
I'm not always trying to make something beautiful.
I do like to just spark an emotion out of people whether it be good or bad.
Howdy Ducky, I created him so that people would go like, “Ooh,” you know, like, “What is that,” you know?
My name is Mindy Shaw.
I like Nick's work because it's just so unique.
One of a kind.
Whimsical -get a lot of compliments from people that see his work.
This goes on here like this.
Okay.
When I find an object, I usually like to pair it with another object.
I'm making kind of like a pop art cabinet.
It's going to be like an old-fashioned cooler.
It'll have an ice tray at the bottom of it.
I got an old Breyer horse I bought from a little girl at a garage sale, that I gold leafed.
And then I'm carving out some horse legs for the bottom of it.
I wouldn't describe myself as weird.
I would describe myself as, um, cool.
The elephant slide, it's actually really rare.
It's an old slide that’s the original colors.
On the other side actually left the original elephant.
Creativity has always been in me since I was little.
I've always been an artist and I always will be.
We've been drawing on walls since cave days, you know.
So, it's in our DNA to draw, to paint, to create.
