emirate25 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 My girlfriend and I were driving around the studewood and I-10 area and she told me about some "BIG WHITE PRESIDENTS HEADS" that were located a couple of blocks behind that new target on Studewood. So we passed by there and I see them all lined up on a property of this industrial factory place. What is the story behind those figures? My gf mentioned something that some millionaire order them to be made but something happen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 No, the presidential heads were commissioned for some kind of presidential head theme park in Virginia, I believe. The ones off Sawyer are, I assume, preliminary or rejected castings. That is where the studio of the artist, David Addickes, is located. Around here he is better known for the famous "Big Head on Main Street". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serrano Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I believe he also did the Sam Houston Statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yep, he's kind of cornered the local market on really big statues. Speaking of which, he was going to erect big statues of the Beatles on the corner of I-10 and Shepherd. Has anything happened with that?

Subdude Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I rode by the studio today and the giant Beatles statues seem to be about complete. It's kind of funny to see them. I hope Addickes is able to move them to the Shepherd - I10 location. It would give them a lot of visibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 These two 18 wheelers were parked on Polk St. in front of Toyota Center. I wonder what is planned for the 4 busts? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that they were "Headed" (in case you missed it the first time), back to David Adicks storage yard on Nance, but maybe they hit the road instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Driving to see those busts is the only time certain GPS units are correct. I had one a few years ago that said "your destination is a head on the right". Not once was there an actual head.😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
