COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Here's my latest item for my home. A neon light sculpture. Makes my place look even more vice-like.In fact, it was shown in MIAMI VICE!It's bright pink neon, and it lights up the whole room! It's over 6 feet tall. This is a very rare, collectible sculpture! This light is in the office of Howard Famiglia in the episode "BABY BLUES". It's located in the corner of his office....ironically, I placed it in the same corner of a room in my home! Perhaps I knew it subconsiously.It's also the exact same brushed aluminum and pink neon. This is a rare light, and an even rarer combination of pink neon and aluminum. The lighting in my home kind of reminds me of Duddy's place from LEND ME AN EAR.Also kind of reminds me of Joey Wyatt's house from THERESA.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 It's a rare item that modern art collectors pay a nice price for. Mine is especially rare, as it's made of brushed aluminum (99% are not). It's also rare as most don't have pink as the neon light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The top of the 6 foot tall sculpture has a hidden, recessed halogen light on the top. The back has a dimmer switch to control the brightness of the lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Here's the same shot as on page one, but the light is a bit more muted as I also used a flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Really cool. Rich colour and a bonus with the halogen light.I personally would prefer it without the kink in lighting. The designer thought that a simple neon running up and down the length of the 6 foot tall sculpture would be too simplistic' date=' so he added the kink in it to add some razzle dazzle to it, and give it a slightly different look. It would also be a bit harder to create a kink that continues to the other side of the sculpture.[img']http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w17/steven-spielberg/newest%20photos/P1012395a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
