Wave Hello To Honest Joe – Rubin Goldstein
“Nobody outside his family knew his real name. Dallas knew him as Honest Joe. For nearly three decades Honest Joe’s pawn shop was one of the central hubs of activity in Deep Ellum. He sold everything from gold watches to prosthetic limbs to automatic weapons. His two-story building was covered in hand-painted signs and hubcaps – or was it? It was covered in signage and hubcaps, but as for the two-story part . . . well, that’s another story . . .”

Sliced Caravelle
CARBON COPY is a sculpture by Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett, installed in the Brewery District of Edmonton, Canada, in 2018. The lights of the 1988 Plymouth Caravelle glow, and a laser in the front seat scans the pavement every 20 seconds.
“CARBON COPY transforms an unremarkable suburban car into an illuminated obelisk, a monument to North America’s car-centric culture.”
