David Adickes SculptrWorx Studio
Giant heads occasionally litter the industrial, Houston neighborhood where sculptor David Adickes has his studio
Category Strange Statues
David Adickes is known for the large statues he sculpts. He sculpted a 67-foot replica of Sam Houston for the city of Huntsville, Texas. In Lead, South Dakota, Adickes created 43 enormousness busts of each American president for display at an educational museum.
His workshop in Houston is open to the public and features many of his most outstanding works. Not intended to be a destination, the workshop/gallery has turned into a destination, an often surprising site where one can see something out of the ordinary in the middle of an industrial part of Houston, Texas. Giant heads will occasionally sit in the parking lot and huge sculptures of the Beatles and former President Bush can be seen from the street. Occasionally one will find Adickes working in the the shop, with his six employees, slowly crafting ever more extravagant work.

I took my soon-to-be-wife by here on our first date. I was making her ask 20 questions while trying to guess where we were heading. She asked if this place had a a lot of trees, I said "No, but it has 2 very large Bushes!" This is a great quick stop when showing folks around town to show that Houston can be quirky and fun to go along with the heat and humidty.
