That gentleman has been working on that project for 33 or 34 years, so literally my entire life. What an amazing project and dedication. Thank you for bringing us here!
You might want to clarify that you're talking about the Joe and the African village because without clarifying people like myself at first glance are going to think you're talking about Jacob 😂😂.
@@alabama_pickin7014 It wouldn't make sense if I was talking about Jacob, but I'll edit it to avoid confusion.
Btw, that African village place is actually 2 hours away from where I live
What other people call junk a lot of people can turn it into something beautiful and turn it into a masterpiece like this man 😸
This man has really lifted me spirits...There is indeed so much good out there....XXXX
A true outsider artist. Thanks for documenting this great work Jacob
You can truly see the love and dedication to his art, truly a blessing. Thank you for the tour!
Joe is a true visionary and a true artist! Thank you for sharing his work to all of us Jake!
I kived in Leeds just 6 miles from Birmingham. We went to the Vulvan observatory at night. Wonderful view. I left the area in 1993. The African American Village is impressive. Thank you.
Thanks for the video CB! May Vulcan's buns bless your further adventures!
Jacob, you are so cool for bring us places we would probably never see!! Joe is an amazing elder who dedicated his life to express himself through his art. You can tell every piece is his baby and he cares. I would love to visit him one day
Thank you for going back good sir👌🏾❤
Ya ya! My hometown. Birmingham is an awesome little city. We've got a lot of hidden weirdos.
What a charming interesting kind man...I am so glad you gave him his chance to shine and talk about his place. I hope you go and visit him again these are you true real american history and culture.. People like this man make up your wonderfull tapesty of real american life.....!!!!!!.
The Vulcan Museum n accompanying story dating back to 1904 was awesome!!! Loved the "unique" bobblehead!!!! Learned a lot of things watching this today!;! Thank you ever so, Carpetbagger!!! Attaboy again;;;
The Vulcan portion of this video gave me a terrifying flashback to when I visited him for my channel, "Look Dat!". The day I went it was extremely windy and I made the decision to take the stairs to the top. I hadn't been that scared in many many years! It's episode 086...
Such a great story about your emotional connection with Vulcan.
Thank you for letting him talk to you, this was special. ✌🏽
Love the Vulcan and the bottle head. Moon over B-ham is priceless.
This is UA-cam baby, even Vulcan knows he's gotta shake his money maker for the viewers!
Bless his heart! What a beautiful man! ❤️🤗 Continue creating Sir!
Next time your in Birmingham head north to gasden to Noccalula Falls and don't forget to stop off at Milo's and get the Mega Meal with sweet tea and apple pie!!
Soo interesting the guy making himself his own happiness with his own good stuff for himself and people can come to enjoy 😊
interesting
one of the things i've lamented since getting into roadside attractions is the lack of the african american experience in the dominant outsider art scene in this country. thanks for highlighting an example that such places exist; it immediately goes to the top of my "must visit" list and i hope we keep finding more of these artists who i know are out there and have yet to be celebrated!
You should visit American Village in Montevallo!! Wonderful colonial village complete with actors on site
True CARPETBAGGER
Another fab video Jacob, learning so much about all the different states you visit. Thank you, ❤
This has nothing to do with this video but CARPETBAGGER!!!: Universal has the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON MOLD-A-RAMA now in the gift shop at the MUMMY GIFTSHOP! If I recall yours was lost broken or you hadn’t gotten one yet. Just thought I would let you know.
my home!!!!!! Thank you for showcasing us
I enjoy this series Jacob
Love your channel thankyou for sharing 😊I 😊
a lot of people now in days making art like his but he's been doing it since the 80s ,wow
Did we all miss the massive 4 head Remington razor? Or did I simply miss the comments about this myself??
i never knew there was an african american village usually it's a museum.
but i didn't know that.
Where exactly in Birmingham is this folk art exhibit? I live here and have never heard of it.
A proud man and justly so. Thanks Jacob
Sloss futnases is extremely haunted!
Hi from Huntsville, Alabama... Not trying to be funny but the place reminds me of old lady hackmore place from Ernest scared stupid .
We had lunch with him before 11:42
How many times does he say Vulcan in this video?
Go see the Oklahoma City bombing museum and memorial
Talking about a complete circle Not accepting Vulcan because he was naked to selling a bobble butt 😆😆😆
Very cool- thank you! Loved the African American folk art- such an interesting person (but I did have a little trouble understanding him with his strong dialect as I'm from CA) Looks like a fascinating story, and wonderful artist!! 😊
🤘🤓🤘🇺🇸
should have went to slos
🎉
When I think of Birmingham, I think of the 45th. Governor George Wallace. He was relentlessly fixated on not allowing a black student attending one of his high schools, even though it was planned by president Lyndon B. Johnson, due to the Governor supported Segregation.
The only thing about Joe I did not like was his "COVID IS DOO DOO" sign. If he knew people who had died from COVID, maybe he wouldn't think so little of it.
I went to Vulcan when I was a kid, I’m from Birmingham and still live in Alabama, and we went when he was getting reconstructed so my dad and I got to take pictures with all his parts separated. Have a lovely picture under his ass cheeks lol
Aww Jacob what a memory of volcan you have that’s so cool ❤
Birmingham quiet the mining town especially in the day ❤❤
Vulcan funny guy 😅
Hey Jacob! Here’s a video of the outlook and elevator I took last July!

That Vulcan is done in the style of the giant Agam mural artwork on front of the Callahan Eye Hospital at UAB. EyeSight Foundation is based out of Callahan Eye Hospital.
You are cool 😎
Butt bobble? 👀
Jacob, I normally love your stuff, but, the African village is really a hoard. Poor man :(
Thank you Jacob❤
looks like a juckyard
24:17 "i own my soul to the company store!" Look it up folks! Good old, bad old days! MAGA! 😈
Junk yard
Joe, the artist and founder of the African American Village in Birmingham, Ala., is totally cool!!!! He is a fabulous folk artist with great insight and creativity!!! Attaboy Joe, what a wonderful contribution to the world!!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger, for introducing us to this illustrious artist!!!
Very nice trip Jacob, and i like how you respect and describe the owner and inventor of the African American Village.
The end of your video just kept me wondering: are similar bobbleheads sold in Uranus, Missouri?
Joe is a true artist! Thanks for sharing his work.
I do not live very far from Birmingham. This video warmed my heart. You could see his dedication and he reminds me of a lot of friends I’ve made here in Alabama. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be making the trip to see this.
Many thank yous to Mr. Joe for sharing such a magnificent collection of artwork. May God bless him and continue to lead him. ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you, Jacob for sharing with us. 🤗
Joe Minter is such an amazing person. Spending time with him in his environment is 1 of 2 things in my life I would describe as a spiritual experience. I don't use that term lightly. I always vote for more outsider art videos.
Amazing arts
We’re proud of you for buying a Bobblebuns! We were yelling at the screen to buy it! 😂
Oh, fun! 😆😅🤪
6yrs ago you were here .. watching you stand out in front of the vulcan monument was nostalgic for me .
Thank u my friend for a great video your amazing and fun to watch
Welcome to Birmingham! There's so much hidden away that you can find here. Also, related. You'll love this. ua-cam.com/video/SZtTFe9s-6g/v-deo.html
what a wonderful man .. awesome he gave you a tour of the art
That’s some gorgeous work he’s done. True creativity!
Vulcans butt is really facing Homewood alabama
A truly wholesome and beautiful soul deep in the backwoods of Alabama 🙏🏻
Wish we had known you were coming thru. I wasn't sure if it was you that had asked me to telegram on a recent video or not, afraid to follow thru. A former high school teacher of mine works a Vulcan. Yes next visit to the city you must go to the hotel/restaurant and tie up yor dirigible - i think it is close the the heaviest corner on earth.
Cool! My neck of the woods!!! You should really go to Sloss Furnaces also. 16th Street Baptist Church is also nearby.
Joe is such a great mind... it's amazing how these artists think and create...I feel just like the amazing road side attractions are disappearing, these older Americans are also disappearing. Nothing will be the same after they are gone.😮💨😢💖
11:48 I see billy bass
I loved the look on your face while bobbing vulcans butt. So funny!! Thank you for the Video's. I wait for every new one. I have alot of health issues and will be starting radiation and chemo for cancer soon too. I get to see so much thru your Video's. Love you Jacob and Jen too. 🧡.❤🙏🙏
UR HERE FUCK MY LIFE AND ITS MY BIRTHDAY PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE STILL IN TOWN I WOULD LOVE A PICTURE AND CAN tell you all about the cool things here
HOW have I not seen this one yet!!!!!!! He’s so precious I may have to make a trip to bham. It’s not far from me ❤️
I had a boss when I was an archaeologist herE in birm8ngham that grew up on a mining housing camp and his dad “bought” all the family clothes and shoes and groceries at the company store for Birmingham Steel company practically a century ago
Yo,how's things betwixt you and The Swedes? Just been wondering...
Roman gods never had clothes
You almost lost your drone back in the day
Come to Athens alabama you will love it
Vulcan is awesome
You were right down the road from me :(
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Crazy Kewl 🤩🌞✌👍
Blessings and safe travels Jacob! ☮
There is a Vulcan art piece at the botanical gardens and there is one at Aldridge Gardens in Hoover- and perhaps at the zoo across the street from The Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
My great grandfather worked at the Sloss Factory. He said it was haunted. He used to hear voices when he was working alone at night.
Does anyone known if Jacob is going to dradgoncon with Adam the woo . Have a great day jacob. Love te videos
Jacob notice you got a new hat 😊love it now you need more pins ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning Jacob 🌞 good to see this 👍 you take care. Thanks for sharing. 🤓📸✌️
Birmingham is really close to home… I feel like I’m getting closer to my dream of meeting you. 😀
Really fascinating place! Appreciate that you shared💜
I would love to visit Joe and his African-American village. That is so cool.
Hey Jacob who does your opening animations ?
I felt the breeze at 11:35 and i wasn't even there.
There is a Vulcan in the Birmingham zoo.
This was really cool! What an undertaking.
How cool junk art is amazing what a man ❤❤❤
