Just a few streets north of the beach in Carmel lives Herb Lyman; a legendary genius/woodworker/artist/beach bum. Herb’s home studio is a working wood shop, library, recording studio and holistic herb resource all in one. Everywhere you look inside the low-ceilinged shed there is a hint of rainbow. Among the treasures to be found are Herb’s homemade left-handed drum, his most recent creations of mobiles and tops, and his other recent work colour coding all the sequences of various pentatonic scales into artworks. He was gracious enough to let me get a few shots. There are few things more beautiful on this earth than the hands of an artist. x
