Kimric Smythe

Kimric has worked at Burning Man since 1991.

He was part of the team that was responsible for the fireworks and engineering the burn of the Man. He also worked with Larry Harvey and Dale Scott on fire and safety issues in the early years.

He worked with his father on the Drive by shooting range and made some of the early flame cannons on the playa.

Art projects included “The Pyro Man” which involved wearing hand made fireworks on pinwheels while capering about. "The Java Cow" was also one of his projects from 1993 to 2000, and he may do it again this year. Other shenanigans included the car hunt in 95 (on a nearby playa) flying fireworks and cameras from kites (back when you could do that sort of thing), the pedestal of Ozi ymandius and the Clock Tower in 1999 among other things.

Kimric has also worked at SRL since 1990.

He owns and operates Smythe’s Accordion Center.

You can see Kimric naked in the recently published SRL calendar benefit for Tim North which you are encouraged to buy directly from SRL, but can pick one up at the store on your way to or from the burn. All proceeds go directly to Tim's family.
