Speed Racer "prize money" handmade comic magnet
Years ago, I had a flood in my beach apartment that left me with many damaged comics- I began to make art out of them, as I couldn't bear to part with them. All hand-cut glass (cut by me, with many scars to show for it!) and framed in copper, these are all original panels, when I know which comic it was, I identify it..but sometimes I have no clue. People have been sending me their damaged comics to transform. I absolutely loved Speed Racer when I was little, he was my first crush (stuff it, Trixie) I can still hear the "chock chock" of the Mach 5! "And my family really needs the prize money"... If you search the internet for the hashtag #glasscandybar you can see many of my past pieces. I got a lovely note from JJ Abrams when I sent him a few of my pieces: They will come in a box (if the piece fits! otherwise, a very sturdy bubblewrap job) All backings are different things, recycled packaging etc, like so: I also have mirrors and soon matchbooks in this style, go look around!
