My Statement by Sid Greenup  

 

It all started when I was but a lad, doing yet another finger painting masterpiece on the bedroom wall.  My brother, seven years older, with artistry flowing through him like a river of experience passing through a crack in the time continuum- he was art to me.  He guided me early on with two main premises, don’t copy anyone, and don’t repeat yourself.  One of a kind - kinda guy, easily said . There it was, the meaning to life. 

 

So then school, friends, girl friends . Rock n Roll and the meaning of work, came into play.  Luckily within a few years I found millwright fabrication as a trade. On and upward machining, designing, back to school more designing, eventually working as a prototyper, first article, manufacturing designer, Cad design and computer control. Lots of fun... 

 

During the last forty years I’ve had the best girlfriend {partner} a guy could have, she lets me know when I’m done.  Also during the last forty years I’ve created a home shop to live for, The Den. 

 

I’m a bit of a medium jumper, working in metals, wood, cement, paints, computer design, what ever stuff I find laying around.  

 

I also found my own crack in time. So in the word of Peter Gabriel   “ So “
