This was just too much fun to just let it go with one post. Yesterday in downtown Spokane, I spotted "Transcend the Bullshit" at least five more times - on shirts, mugs, button, magnets, and sculptures. The creator Harold Balazs is now in his 80's, still living in Mead, and working every day. He is AMAZING and has made dozens of fantastic sculptures all around Spokane and the Northwest!! The sculptor for the man with the wheelbarrow featured in my last blog was Ken Spiering, but his model was Harold. They were good friends, collaborated together, and Harold sneaked in the Transcend Bullshit statement on the bottom of the shoe. In all the blogs and posts, I never saw anyone who mentioned seeing it there. Now YOU can be part of an elite sighting! Everything I have read states what a creative, down-to-earth, brilliant man he is. Well done, Harold - may your spark of fun continue to light up our paths.
