Reuse Sculptures

[uliveandyouburn]

I'm just sharing some sculptures I've been lucky enough to be hired to build over the last year. I got my fifteen minutes of internet fame in the summer of '09 after I got popped for stealing some orange barrels and building a monster out of them. That cheap fame has paid off in the form of several opportunities to build stuff for money. All of it has been running on the theme of bringing materials bound for the landfill to life.
