Phoenix




This was quite a labor intensive project, and cutting motorcycle tires is no easy task.

10 motorcycle tires
6 bicycle tires
4 2x4's
2 plus pounds of screws
6 dozen zip ties
1 metal support star
2 glass eyes
1 bbq grill cover
5 pieces of copper


He had a brief showing downtown before becoming a permanent resident in our front yard. He gets a lot of visits from neighbors and kids, and
a bald eagle even stopped by to check him out last winter.

The Complete Fleet

This was another favorite of mine... only had it for a little while after creating it, before it found a new home.

The Chimp is made from clay, and the boat carved from a block of found wood.... the rest are all objects found parts from projectors, piping, toy propellor, air nozzles, pencil sharpener case and gear, brass lamp post, casters, watch lense, pulley, rubber insulator, African emblem, gutter post, waxed thread, brass fishing weights, watch post and gears, and a piece of copper that I etched.
