..My 2nd Art-o-mat® machine is from Clark Whittington's "Rust Bucket" series. I call this one "Buckety". This machine is basically in the same shape/state that it was in when Clark acquired it. It has been cleaned up a little bit and clear coated (you won't get rusty when you use it). Colored lights were added in the nameplate.
Tres cool, eh???
Buckety can be found at:

Who I'd like to meet:
Founded in Winston-Salem, NC in 1997 by artist Clark Whittington, Artists in Cellophane is an arts group that converts retired cigarette machines into Art-o-mat® original art vending machines. Over 400 artists from 11 countries are presently involved in this project. 
Since I do not have my own storefront (or museum/gallery/etc.), my machines are known as "Community" machines and I move them from time to time to different venues. (Click on the large Greeny image to see other Art-o-mat® machines and locations)
..
Greeny has moved to Ann Arbor! His new home is Liberty Street Robot Supply and Repair.

Storefront Photo by Gregory Lee
The robot shop is the storefront operation for 826michigan, a nonprofit writing center that provides free academic and literary arts programs to local young people. The programs aim to teach the skill of writing but also to give students unique and creative opportunities to engage with their community, to express themselves distinctly and confidently and to prepare young people for their futures. 826michigan serves about 1500 students each year with writing and tutoring programs.
Here are a few more pics from Liberty Street Robot Supply and Repair

However today was yet another grand Fek-up of THD's HR.
Tomorrow is actually when the class is, so I & 4 other associates from other stores went to where we were told the class was today. Lo and behold, its not until tomorrow and nobody from any of our stores told us. So now I get to go to work tomorrow to sort it all out and try to get them to pay me for my wasted time, then reschedule the class. I'm so sick of their screw ups- they are turning my life into hell and keeping me broke as a joke. Not a good combo. The class was going to be about staircases & building staircases, the materials etc...

Think again... ha, ha, haaaaa!
