It began as a joke, but it became a whimsical work of kinetic art, that's also a working, five-car monorail train serving some surprisingly well-behaved puppies.

James Horecka
James Horecka is a licensed architect practicing in Winchester, California. He also holds a contractor's license (22 years). A "Maker" since childhood, he has created many odd works, including (among other things) several small paddle-wheel boats (one gas powered), and the popular "Puppy Mover Monorail." James prefers art that includes experiences in both space and time: Kinetic art that itself moves (mechanized), and/or larger constructions that one may move through or upon. James exhibited the "Puppy Mover Monorail" at the 2007 & 2009 Maker Faires. For the 2008 Maker Faire, he exibited a scratch-built 32' high Mega-Tripod and 25' high EMT Mirador. Most of all, he enjoys the "process" of Making.
