The Third Rock Outdoor Fire Pit is a high quality, hand cut and crafted fire pit designed for years of heavy use. This is one of the most unique fire pits on the market. Every Fire Pit is individually signed and numbered by it’s designer, Rick Wittrig. Each Fire Pit is made from one quarter inch (6.35 mm) thick carbon steel. This is by far the heaviest gauge metal used in any fire pit available today. The sturdy construction assures you of having this functional art for many years to come. They have an iron oxide finish/patina on the outside which will darken a little with time then become permanent. The interior is coated with a high temperature resistant paint and has an 1-1/2” rain drain in the bottom. This high quality fire pit requires no maintenance and has an overall height of 42” and a diameter of 36”. Measurements may vary since each fire pit is hand made.
The Earth and all its glory reveal a fiery inner core through the Continents of our Planet.

Tumblr Artist
Melodie Provenzano | melodieprovenzano (b.1974, USA) - Bunny shark with strawberries. Acrylic and oil on canvas, 64” x 70” (2008)
Melodie Provenzano is a New York-based artist. Winning a coloring contest at 3 years of age sealed her fate. After graduating from Parsons with a BFA, she spent a decade painting window displays for fashion companies, such as Saks 5th Avenue, Hermes and Donna Karan. She finally found her unique voice through fine art, setting up still lifes and painting and drawing from observation. “I am inspired by objects: figurines, glassware, golf balls, plastic animals, etc… I see inherent personality and meaning in the way things look, and I resonate with the emotions that they suggest to me. I move things around until a balanced composition and a loose narrative appear. Little green apples may suggest bounty and tradition, a miniature plaster head may speak of art history, and a toy microphone may project expression for everyone to hear. I make both drawings and paintings directly from observing these self created make-believe scenes and invite the viewer’s interpretation.”
Melodie is currently working on a solo show to be exhibited in the Fall of 2012, at Lyons Wier Gallery on West 24th Street in NYC. Please visit her website for more work or follow her news on Tumblr. (Interview with artist by ARTchipel Feb-2012)
