Walton Creel
Hello my Name is...
Walton Hardy Creel, Walton is my father’s middle name, he was named after his uncle Wayward Walton.
I was born in....
Birmingham, Alabama, come visit, I know all the good spots around town.
I currently live in....
Birmingham, I still love it!
It all started when....
I took a canvas and gun into the woods and hoped I wouldn’t return with a giant cliché.
Since then my work has become...
A time-consuming, inexact science that causes a great deal of anxiety each time I touch the barrel to a new piece, but the end results are almost always rewarding.
My ideal work environment...
A secluded hillside, clear skies, temperatures in the mid 70s, and a zero percent chance of rain.
I spend my days/nights...
In the past, I have alternated between designing, prepping and shooting, but the last two months have been consumed by helping my girlfriend renovate and open a jewelry store as well as working with the folks at the Coleman Center for the Arts in York, AL.
I'm currently under the influence of...
PBS’s NOVA, my friend Jason, and my wonderful girlfriend Chatham who can appreciate fine things like jewelry as well as Rat Attack, probably the most disgusting documentary I have ever seen.
I waste a lot of...
I am sure I am wasting something; I just don’t pay quite enough attention.
It sure would be nice to have a dumpster full of...
A month long vacation to Europe.
My buried treasure will consist of....
A bunch of spent bullet casings that I meant to do something with one day.
and be guarded by....
a pack of shih-tzu
I wish more people saw the value in...
Driving carefully while near me.
My last word(s)...
Probably, something stupid.
