Randy Regier's toy sculpture: "Fast Asleep"

I'm always happy to find out that artist Randy Regier has created a new work. This one is called "Fast Asleep." More photos after the jump. My uncle Doug once told me that Jackson Browne's 1974 album "Late for the Sky" saved his life. Maybe mine too, I can't say but I can't imagine my life without it. In particular, when I listen to the song "The Pretender" I just sort of fall deeply into a waking dream where all the lyrics take physical form in my mind's eye. This piece, "Fast Asleep", is as close as I can get to materializing two of the lines: Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender Where the sirens sing and the Church bells ring And the junk man pounds his fender Where the veterans dream of the fight Fast asleep at the traffic light And the children solemnly wait For the ice-cream vendor... Dimensions for car 17" L x 7" W x 8" H, mixed media, steel, cast plastic, aluminum and automotive finish. Traffic light: 13" H x 2" x 2", mixed media, plastic, aluminum, automotive finish....
