The artist Dustin Shuler passed away earlier this month in Los Angeles at the age of 61.  Famous for creating the Spindle sculpture (pictured below), Mr. Shuler was, by all accounts, an iconoclast, and to many a visionary.  Needless to say, we honor him as a fellow Spindler.  Here’s the Spindle (before it was dismantled allegedly to make room for a drugstore):

For the record, the cars impaled on the Spindle, from top to bottom, were:

1. A red Volkswagen Beetle,
2. A silver BMW,
3. A blue Ford Escort,
4. A green Mercury Capri,
5. A white Ford Mustang,
6. A maroon Pontiac Grand Prix,
7. A yellow Ford LTD, and
8. A black Mercury Grand Marquis.
