Pinellas Park artist commissioned by a private collector to create an Old School Rocket for his Cape Canaveral home.
Old School Rocket by artist Clayton Swartz for a private collector in Cape Canaveral, FL.
Rocket on view at Swartz Gallery.
Building the rocket in Swartz Studio
This project was a first of its kind for the artist and presented some new challenges but turned out phenomenal. The rocket includes a welded construction inside frame and rivets around the aluminum exterior of the sculpture. LED lighting lights up the bottom of the rocket as well as the portal window. The sculpture is about 10 foot tall.
