There are a lot of parts to  Ed Gulley, there is no space here to list them all – father, husband, grandfather, dairy farmer, butcher, breeder, artist, tractor repair man, crack shot, animal and dog lover, bovine midwife, collector, hoarder of farm tools, sculptor. He worked all summer making a Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion for the county fair, I think he plans to sell all of them.

Ed is the loving and creative side of the Duck Dynasty.

Only Ed would think of such a thing and have all the parts he needs at his fingertips in his many barns, all stuffed to the gills with industrial farm tools and implements. He has never thrown a single thing away in his life, and he is using many of those parts now.

Ed comes from another time, a self-described dinosaur, one of a kind. I think this is so, I have never known anyone like him.

We keep telling him if his work was in a New York City gallery, he would be rich. We count the Gulleys among our closest friends, and Ed freely credits Maria with inspiring him to make his art and show it to the world.  She is a great admirer of Ed and she spotted the potential of his work right away.

Ed works 15 hours a day on his dairy farm and so does Carol, but he makes time for his art, his creative spark is lit.

I’ve probably urged a 1,000 people by now to start a blog and light their creative spark and show it to the world, I would estimate about a dozen people have actually done it, and Ed is one of them, to his very great success. Check out the Bejosh Farm Journal, and check out Ed and Carol Gulley.
