Batman Comic Book Fight Noise Art Chair By Artist Shawn Tyler Batonomatopoeia
HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!! This chair was directly inspired by a love of comic books and a love of the Adam West Batman series from the '60s, with all it's amazing 'fight noise'onomatopoeia so I call this chair batonomatopoeia. This was a labor of love that took a lot longer than I thought to make. It is functional art, it can be sat upon and will support a tremendous range of sizes and shapes of rear ends. It is made ergonomically according to established sizes of most dining chairs, the seat is 17.5 inches from the floor and the back rest stands 34 inches tall. The seat and back rest are about 12 inches wide. The chair itself is made from 'stack laminated' plywood in the method established by Wendell Castle, shaped on my band saw and epoxied and screwed together, very strong construction. I painted and decorated this with a variety of materials, various paints including textured paint, fluorescent paint, various types of markers, and finally protected with 5 coats of lacquer. Just about every square inch is decorated! This is original, one of a kind artwork! Decorated by both myself and my daughter who is an amazing painter. YES you can sit on it!! Please see my other art objects for sale, I have another art chair I made, other asian inspired items, etc…

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been doing sculpture in different media for around 20 years and focusing more on woodwork lately. My specialty is carved wood furniture, ceramic flowers and now I'm starting to make some unique lighting fixtures/chandeliers.
I have a bachelor's degree in Business and am widely traveled, and have lived overseas in many countries so I have seen many different forms of artwork worldwide.
I was previously known as an electronics technician so I am beginning to add lighting to some of my projects. I am attempting to create a niche with custom music stands and carved end tables. I am skilled at cabinetmaking but prefer to make sculptural furniture, things with curves are much easier for me to make somehow. A few of the artists and woodworkers I consider to be strong influences in my life include Sam Maloof, Wendell Castle and Isamu Noguchi.
