"In the late '60's, with his bare hands
Dave actually filled boxes of stolen grapes
from some rancher's vineyard, then using his bare feet, crushed them
for my first vintage,
then using his bare hands, created the label for the bottles! Later, my
wines were served
at the White House. It's completely crazy, and, the stone truth!"

For two decades this site has been devoted specifically to the
presentation of Dave Archer's space art on glass.
Now, the
site is expanding in every direction of the artists creative
interest, showing other types of his art, plus, adding archival
photographs over his life and career.
As
a boy in the 40's Archer spent hours at his bedroom desk, writing
stories on
an
antique typewriter.
Everyone said he should be a writer, so, naturally, he became a painter. A painter who loved
to
write. Click above to read some of his writings.
" Easily one of the most interesting
and funniest people I've ever known.
Dave Archer is simply a genius".
Billy Goodman,
Bluesman
For those of you who might be new
to Archer's high voltage space-art, some words for you
concerning that ongoing obsession. Known as "reverse glass," or
"verso"
painting, these works are partially accomplished using millions of
volts of
electricity as a "paint brush". Begun in 1970, as a joint endeavor with
artist friend Ron Russell,
glass painting remains Archer's most well known
work. Russell was his teacher of verso painting, plus, as Dave
says, "one of the
finest friends I have ever had". You can read about their humble
beginnings in Sonoma County here: A Story All Its
Own.
––– Archer sez: " I never thought I
looked like Geppetto
from Pinocchio until the phone rang one Sunday morning.
It was my
best friend Juila's mother, Rita Whitely,
calling from Palm
Beach to say I was in the comics
section of the paper in Believe It Or Not!"

DAVE ARCHER'S
ELECTRIC MACHINES AND
PAINTING PROCESSES
Japanese illustration from "Quark Magazine"
"I guess fate or destiny brought us together so
many years ago. I think of you as the
modern day
Michelangelo and Archimedes
combined. Both of them
understood the science and art of
symmetry, geometry and the
universe and mathematics. They also
knew that electrical discharge
was an integral part of the 'Spark of
Life'. You have succeeded
in bringing all that to
this world in your masterful artworks"
Bill Wysock - Tesla
Technology
The artist's Electric Machines and painting techniques are
unique in the world, as invented and inovated by Dave, with
each electric coil designed, and fabricated by world renowned
electrical engineering
genius Bill Wysock of Tesla
Technology
and Hollywood special effects fame. Mr. Wysock was the protogé of Ken
Strickfadden, the Hollywood electrical genius who gave us fantastic
electrical effects from the original Frankenstein movie, through a
brilliant career ending with Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein.
Working with
hand-held wands, Archer manipulates high voltage arcs --- from a few
inches in
length to nine feet --- using that raw power to influence wet paints on
sheets of glass, thus achieving space-cloud impressions that Apollo
astronauts have followed over two three decades. Later, planets,
comets, etc., are completed by hand, using dozens of both common and
invented art techniques.
"We are finally beginning to get the big
picture
and you seem to have gotten there
before most".
Rusty Schweickart - Apollo
9 AstronauT

"In North Beach in the 60's I
called Dave, "Bellbottom".
He was the first beatnik to wear
bellbottom hiphuggers. After
Dave, everybody was wearing them,
Well, I never did".

"I knew him as David Nelson in North
Beach in the
60's. He was the doorman at Coffee and Confusion
I know he looks like Quasimodo now, but my god back then
he was so gorgeous girls, and boys too, used to trail after
him down the street like a pack of lost house pets. I mean
every where he went, it was amazing".
