OK,a little about brooks coleman....that's me. And a little about this site.

First off, I'm this artist kind of guy that wishes he was a scientist or

a shuttle pilot. My "too many projects at once" life style side tracked any

possible formal education after high school, so I get by with my subscription

to Scientific American and have the coolest physics teacher/shuttle engineer

dad a guy could ask for. Although I doubt I'll ever get to fly the shuttle,

I did survive 10 years of hang gliding, from the over-passes of I-45 south

of Houston to the 10,000 foot Sandia mountains in new Mexico.

Moving to Austin in the late 70's I started out living on freelance work in

Photography,hang gliding lessons,wood carving,and general construction but

eventually did a couple of years at my only two real straight jobs,the first

was building electric cars at Jet Industries,where we pulled gas engines out

of dodge omni s, and Fuji mini vans and replaced them with electric motors

and huge battery packs . The second day job was making solar panels for

Cole solar systems . It was fun and a good learning experience but my creative

spirit will not be chained down,that and the first couple of weeks of allergie

season gets me fired for missing too much work.

Oh well,I don't like alarm clocks anyway . Over the last 25 years I have been

doing what I do with hopes of some day hitting big with one hair brain scheme

or another,with some variety of success . Mostly, just really good press like the

2 page spread in Newsweek and several segments on the Discover Channel about my

involvement with the robot group, and fifteen years with the psycho-avaunt-jazz-

industrial-punk-classical-garage .....band. LiQuid MicE.

Now days,I live out in the piney woods of Bastrop , in a half finished house

I'm building myself . Most of my income comes from the metal art bras I've been

making for about 8 years now, but the real point to this site is to show the

variety and depth of all the things I'm doing and hope to do.
