Mr. Brain Man SOLD 3 May 2017 on Etsy! Painting by William Washburn

SOLD! Mr. Brain Man
Measures approximately 11 inches tall by 7 inches wide. Weighs about 1.6 ounces.

Hand formed from unvarnished copper wire and Silver Soldered by me, William Washburn a 67 year "old geezer" outsider artist, in a secret laboratory located 4 miles down a dirt road in the deep woods of rural Oklahoma. Created in a smoke free environment, except for the solder smoke.

Suitable for hanging on large rusty bent nail in your "Guest Bedroom". Your mother-in-law will love it but it may frighten small children or adults that are terrorized by creepy clowns. Some may choose to hang it around their neck on a one inch thick of rope or chain as a spirit necklace. Can also be hung in a window or from the ceiling with thin fishing line or by about 3 feet of left over cat-fishing trot line, you might consider removing the catfish first.

The million dollar bill is a real million dollar bill suitable for framing.
Couldn't get Walmart to give me change for it but if you know Elvis Presley or Bernie Sanders they might be able to break it for you. If you want it, I will sign, date and mail it to you for for free!

In 1970 I successfully completed the U.S. government run NASA Soldering Techniques course at Tinker Field Air Force Base in accordance with all the then current NASA Satellite Soldering Requirements.

It was a required soldering course and there were those that ACTUALLY CRIED because they could not produce a perfect solder joint on a particular terminal type or circuit board. If they did not pass the course after the 2nd try they were to be reassigned to other work shops on Tinker A.F.B. It was rumored that some were paying others to make perfect terminals for them.

Each and every completed soldering joint, wire, terminal, and wire insulation were inspected with stereo microscopes for solder splatter, too much or too little solder, solder wicking into insulation, insulation distances from terminal, wire bird caging, wire nicks, insulation melting and bubbles, the degree of terminal wire wrap, circuit board overheat, rosin residue, etc. The course had to be re-taken every 2 years. It was a rigorous, and tough soldering course.

Of course this work of art is not soldered anywhere near to NASA Spec's. But who cares anyway, it's not being sent into space, just your living room. Also don't lose any sleep about whether or not the solder joints will last your lifetime. I FULLY guarantee them until long after you and your dogs have gone to the glorious hereafter. Hope to see you there soon. :)
