MYARTS

Continued from pg. 42

As his hobby developed, Hill began to build other science ction staples. One of his most successful (only two left!) is his line of ray guns – each with a name and registered atomizing power. “Ray guns are a dierent animal and at rst I didn’t have any idea how to build one,” he states. “It ’s something I always wanted to do.” Disclaimer: All ray guns have been deactivated and power cells drained to avoid any unfortunate accidents. See website for details. Electro Art Works also creates Saucerbots (constructed from computer hard drives and CDs), Rocketbots (mostly made from discarded hairspray canisters), robotic animals (including dogs, cats, rabbits, roosters and others) and Robot Heads. Hill will also, from time to time, use his skills to build non-science ction pieces such as water towers, “electro- sh” and others. Hill cherishes each and every creation equally and takes pride in making sure they nd good homes. “I’m retired and this is all I do now,” he smiles, “and new ideas come to me every day. My favorite piece is always the next one.” If you are interested in what pieces Hill oers for purchase, visit the Electro Art Works Face book and Instagram pages for his most up-to-date and available creations, or visit Art at the Market at the Flint Farmers’ Market where Hill displays his works.
