There’s an interesting piece on Flea’s friendship with sculptor Thomas Houseago on The Hollywood Reporter website:
Apparently Flea is a great fan of artist, Thomas Houseago’s pieces and would like to own one but he doesn’t have a place to put one as many of the pieces are so big. After tracking the artist down, Flea and Houseago became friends
At their first meeting, the two talked for three hours. “I was like, ‘Oh, he’s a brother.’ With Flea, it was just straight up,” recalls Houseago…
And it turns out that the artist brought one of Flea’s former homes, The Castle in Los Feliz, without realising it;
“It was pure chance. I had no idea it used to be Flea’s house,”
Houseago donated a piece to the recent Silverlake Conservatory of Music benefit evening auction. It was a mask sculpture and was bought by Anthony Kiedis.
