Hobart Brown Upjohn
Upjohn, the son of famous architect Richard Michell Upjohn, was born in New York City. He earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1899. After holding several jobs, including assistant principal of the School of Architecture of the International Correspondence Schools in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he started working for his father’s architectural firm in 1903. Soon after, Upjohn opened his own practice in 1905 in New York, entering into a brief partnership with George Conable from 1908 to 1914.
Like his father, Upjohn primarily designed churches, but he also worked on academic and private residential commissions. In North Carolina, he designed nearly 50 churches and educational buildings, including more than 40 during the 1920s alone.

Upjohn's plan formed a partly

Hobart Brown, 73; artist founded wacky yearly sculpture race
It started in 1968 when Hobart Brown, a Northern California metal sculptor and art gallery owner, took his son Justin’s tricycle and, in a burst of Rube Goldberg-like creativity, used its parts in creating a pentacycle: a five-wheeled, 5 1/2 -foot-tall red contraption with wrought-iron curlicues, a steering wheel and a surrey-like top.
Fellow sculptor Jack Mays laughed when he saw what Brown had wrought, then said he could build an even better kinetic sculpture.
Mays went on to create a pedal-powered, 12-foot-high Army tank. But that wasn’t the end of it.
As Brown later told the SF Weekly: “In America, if you have two of anything, you have to race.”
On Mother’s Day 1969, Brown, Mays and entrants manning nine other pedal-powered, wacky works of art raced down Main Street in Ferndale, a 19th-century Victorian village south of Eureka.
With a crowd of spectators there for the annual arts festival urging them on, artist Bob Brown won the brief race. His winning entry? A whimsical tortoise that laid eggs, squirted water

Spider-Punk
Marvel Comics character
Comics character
Spider-Punk (Hobart Brown) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is an alternate version of Hobie Brown and Spider-Man; frequent antagonists are President Norman Osborn, V.E.N.O.M., and the Inheritors.
Hobie Brown / Spider-Punk made his film debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, and is set to return in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.[1]
Publication history
Spider-Punk was created by writer Dan Slott and artist Olivier Coipel. The idea of a punk Spider-Man emerged when Coipel proposed the look for Spider-UK. Slott rejected the look as wrong for a member of the Captain Britain corps but used it to develop a new character that would be "all punk".[2]
Spider-Punk first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #10 (January 2015).
