Presidents

Last weekend we thought it was time to get out of Katy and visit some sites that we had not been to in Houston yet.

Somewhere in an industrial part of Houston, behind the Target and between some warehouses is the workshop of David Adickes. He is an artist that has made the heads of all the presidents for an educational center in South Dakota. However more of these heads are still here in Houston. They are not displayed in any nice way. They kind of sit around the edge of an empty plot of land across from the studio but still it is well worth visiting. The heads are very big, somewhere between 5-6m!

It is very strange to drive down a small street and see this at the end of it.

It was a pretty impressive sight. Need to get up to speed on our president knowledge though.

Yes, Obama was there too!

Not sure who this was. Might have been Reagan as we didn't see him around :) (although the bow tie probably indicates someone who served a bit longer ago)

And yes, the Beatles are here too. Even bigger than the presidents at about 11m tall.
