It seems that my blog has been linked to by one of my favorite sites on the internet: ThisIsColossal.com. I’m just tickled pink. When I first emailed Bob I was just selfishly looking for some inspiration and tips. Since then we’ve been emailing back and forth every few months. I’ve even helped connect him with some of his cousins!
What has Bob been up to lately?  Well, he’s got a show going on right now in Jakarta, Indonesia (or is it in Dubai?).  http://www.artdubai.ae/2013/galleries/edwins-gallery  Bob tells me that there was a scary moment when they plugged his 110V motor into a 220V socket!  Luckily the docent was fast and unplugged it before the motor fried itself.  Be careful with the standard voltage sources if you’re showing electrical art pieces worldwide!
Bob has also told me about a documentary that features the Old Timey folk band he was in, Highwoods String Band. Â There are a few snippets of interviews with Bob in this, but it’s all about his fiddle playing, not about his other amazing talents.
WONDERFUL article – this and it’s predecessor. Well done.
Hi there,
I came across your site, looking for information about Bob and trying to find contact info. I work in an advertising agency in Portsmouth, NH and we are interested in using one of Bob’s sculptures in a commercial. Can you let me know how to get in touch with him?
Loved the email he wrote back to you, very cool!
Thanks so much,
Amy Greenlaw
Daniel – Thanks so much for the information about Bob Potts. Much like you, I have been mesmerized by his work. To that end, I have been searching for his email address, so that I could inquire if he has ever considered hold a workshop to teach some of his craft. Would you be willing to provide his email address? or point me in the best direction to obtain it?
Thanks again,
Todd
His contact information is at the end of his Youtube videos! That’s how I reached out to him. https://youtu.be/LrwTAhJCM_I?t=4m3s
