Mental Loop. This "neon" tube is actually filled with krypton gas. This one was tricky to bend, as I wanted the tube to line up right above the circular shapes of the doily. My favorite part of this piece is the side eye expression of the doll.

Found object artwork using neon (krypton filled) tube bent into circles over a doily with an old porcelain doll in the center. It is mounted on a circular background, inside an antique frame.

No photoshop here, just the reflection of neon. This is the view from my neon studio, looking out the back window. #neon #reflection #sunset #om #clouds

"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love." I removed the broken pieces from a neon beer sign and replaced with a couple of hearts. #neonlight #neonheart #lovesweetlove

A sign that I made for the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia several years back. It was for a David Bowie themed art show. Bromo blue glass gives the nicest color! #neon #neonsign #davidbowie #wecanbeheroes

Here is a sneak peek of my contribution to a group neon art show, opening in Seattle next month. #neon #neonwords #neonletters #funkyfont #weallbelong #eveningneon #colors #bannedwords

Neon letters in an outline font that spell out the word BELONG in all capital letters. Each letter is a different color: magenta, green, purple, orange, blue yellow.

Same gas, different colors. It's all argon gas, but the outer ring also has a small amount of mercury in the tubes, which shifts the color to blue as it vaporizes. "Regeneration", 2023 16" x16" #eveningneon #neonart #argongas #glassart

I'm a day late, but in celebration of record store day here is a piece I'm currently working on that will eventually be mounted to a metal cut out of the same shape. If you grew up listening to 45 rpm records you will recognize it! #neon #neonlight #45rpm #recordstoreday #records #vinyl

A pink neon light in the shape of the plastic centerpiece that goes inside a 45 record to allow it to play on a turntable record player.

I just finished this sign last week for a barber shop opening up on South Street in Philly. Here it is on my shop table. #neon #neonsign #barbershop #signsinphilly #eveningneon

A neon sign in red letters that reads Anthony's Barber Shop. The word Anthony's is in a script letter style, and the words barber shop are in block letters.

Yes, it’s quiet here. I haven’t gone back to Facebook and don’t plan to. I haven’t been on here much but that is mostly because I’m preferring more analog living over digital these days 😀✨

GOOD LUCK APPEALS TO EVERYONE. This is a found object art piece that I made a few years back. #foundobjects #foundobjectart #vintage #trinkets #bones #rust

And art piece made using found objects. The frame is 4 times longer than it is wide, and the objects are mounted to a wood panel inside the frame. At the top spells out, 'I can walk under ladders', the words stacked above each other forming a triangular shape. Beneath the words is a wishbone. Beneath that is a leather star. Underneath the star is a vintage bisque doll holding out a coin that reads 'good luck'. The doll is placed inside an upturned, old rusty horseshoe. Below the horseshoe is an old skeleton key. Finally underneath everything is a clipping from an old newspaper which reads' Good luck appeals to everyone'.

Testing testing 1..2..3...I got the Pinksky app and this is my first post. Not sure if it also pops up on my Bluesky account, so this post will help me find out! Here is some neon I made that hangs in my kitchen window. Groovy man.

Neon lights hanging in a window. One is a flower with a blue center and pink petals. The other is a yellow smiley face with purple eyes and mouth.

Just got home from seeing Kim Deal at the Keswick Theater. She was excellent! She sounded so good and was smiling the whole time and having a blast. She played her new album in its entirety, plus several Breeders songs. If you haven't heard her new album yet, check it out youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Spark! An artwork from last year, that I hope brings a smile to your face.

This is an art piece by Eve Hoyt. It has 6 swirl shaped neon tubes arranged like flower petals around a center that is a vintage, plastic doll baby face, which glows pink from the neon tubes. The colors of the neon are purple, magenta and pink. The size of the entire piece is 13" x 13".

It has been about 3 weeks since I deleted my Facebook account, I have to say that I do not miss it at all. And have been spending less time on my other socials too. I highly recommend it! Anyway, here's a fun little thing I made last week. Read the alt text for descriptive details.

Found object art piece using a vintage, walnut wood tissue box cover. I cut out phrases from a 1975 issue of the tabloid magazine National Enquirer and put them together to say "Years of Suffering... it's so easy anyone can do it!" and attached them to the front of the tissue box. The opening of the box has an almond shape, resembling the outline of an eye, and inside of it I put a convex mirror for the 'pupil', which when gazed into, puts the viewer as the largest point of focus. Not shown in the photo is the secret message "Time To Awaken", which can't be seen until the viewer gets close enough to peek inside the box.

Here is a fun (and a little bit creepy) piece I made in 2012. I created devil horns using 8mm clear tubing and filled them with neon gas. I attached the horns to this vintage dummy head, and mounted the whole thing inside an antique frame. His name is Devil Dan. Ain't he handsome?

This is a neon and found object artwork, titled Devil Dan, made by artist Eve Hoyt. A disembodied, vintage ventriloquist's head sits inside an antique frame. The head looks similar to the Charlie McCarthy puppet from the 1920's. It's mouth is open slightly to show his teeth. He has red gems in his eyes, and devil horns on top of his head made out red neon lights.

Thought I would post another part of the process in neon making. This tube is getting ready to be cleaned on the inside while a vacuum pump removes all the impurities, and then filled with gas. A process known as bombarding. I'm having fun writing out alt text for images. It really gets me thinking!

This is a neon tube bent into the shape of an eye. It is made up of 3 colors: 2 different blues and ruby red. It isn't lit. This is before the bombarding process, which is when the tube gets heated up and a vacuum pump removes all air and the impurities, before it gets filled with noble gas (argon in this case) The picture shows the neon tube on the table with high voltage alligator clips attached to each electrode and pieces of mica placed between certain sections of the glass to prevent electricity from arcing through and creating a hole during the bombaring process.

To add to my story, when I delivered this piece to the buyer, the first thing he did when I took it out of the box was to feel it up, before I plugged it in. 😀 Although honestly, if a neon tube is installed properly and operating normal, you can touch it while it's on. It doesn't even get that hot.
