What is going on with this 2010 earth ship in Montrose, CO? Usually, I like earth ships, but this is madness. 2bds, 2ba, asking $825K.
It's been 24 yrs., and it's still not finished. The buyer has to finish it. This is ugly. Look at the tire walls.
It's interesting for us, from an architectural standpoint, to see how an earth ship is made. So this is that garden area they always have at the entrance.
Bathroom?
Look at this. I first thought that these were clothes hanging. The tires are vertical and some are clearly flat.
On this wall they're horizontal. So, you put the adobe on these? So, you frame them and put up wallboard?
What a project. How can you figure out how to finish what someone else started?
Don't know what this is.
So, these batteries have been here since 2010.
The solar panel. Surprised there's just one.
39.90 acres of nice trees, but they cleared out the land around the house too much. They didn't leave any trees.
The earth ship looks big, and it looks like there's a house on the property, plus a shed and so many outbuildings, plus a trailer. The description says: "These can serve as storage, workshops, artist studios, or whatever else your heart desires."

The idea of him slowly catching frogs and running straight to Barnaby to show him is one of my favorite things to think about. Now I can beam such an idea into yalls mind with the power of art I spent too much time on

Here's a little.... "warm-up" sketch that turned out so good that I wanted to post it.
Yes, I forgot Eddie's belt.
And yes, the blur, dizzy lineart on Frank is unintentional (but in a good way).

Sadly, the lady who was building her dream hobbit house right on Lake Michigan in Rapid City, Michigan, died suddenly and the house needs a buyer who will finish it. She spared no expense using the finest materials and the home is for sale for $5M. 3bds, 3.5ba. Take a look.
This is how it's supposed to look finished- stone facade, round door, elliptical windows and copper edging to make the roof stand out.
Look at the shapes on the back, facing the lake.
The rolls of copper are already here for the roof and waiting to be installed.
Look at the swoops in the roof.
Hope a new owner comes along and finishes it.
Look at how beautifully the interior architectural features curve.
Not liking the rail, maybe it's just temporary.
Closeup of the rounded front entrance.
I bet this home will be worth a lot when it's done. It's going to be unique and right on the lake.
Nice big patio right on the beach. The property measures .75 acre.
