Preparations part 3

 One day to go to show. Almost skateboards with all Eric's graphics throughout the years are being mounted on the walls.
 Neither of this would have worked without tireless and smooth team work.
 Chris and Eric finishing up the big pear graphic that was wheat pasted onto the brick wall. The board is not out yet, but it's supposed to be Coop in his motorcycle helmet and goggles. Here his head is an upside down pear and the helmet is carved out of an orange. Eric Wollam is a genious.
 At this point me, Cooper and Stacy from Duffs shoe company had finalized our idea to display the shoe hanging from the beams in the ceiling. We bought metal wire that we shaped as legs. Coop and I went to the thrift store where we bought 5 pairs of amazing track suit pants.
 We dressed the wire in pants and stuffed them with paper - and ta ta! Legs with shoes to hang from the ceiling! That's art!
 Cooper with a pair of fake legs.
 Stacy all proud after manufacturing the first set of legs.
And up they went with Cooper's pro model The Pedro on their feet.

 Making butt cheeks and getting the right shape for the behind was a fun part of the job.
 A couple of hours later the legs were in place. And the final hanging of Eric's art could begin.
