Heavy Metal Clocks

Old Furniture Gets a Wild Life In Furniture Animals

French artist Mark Sparfel finds old, discarded furniture that is well beyond its prime, and gives it all a brand new purpose in these artistic animal sculptures.

Beautiful LitterBugs Sculptures Originate in Trash

LitterBugs series of insect sculptures by British artist Mark Oliver are built entirely from trash.

Animal Sculptures Made Out of Salvaged Plastic

Raised in the Japanese Shinto philosophy, artist Sayaka Ganz believes there is life and a soul in everything, and all objects.

The Rocking Bed: Sounds Good, Right?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve found a new love. Behold, the rocking bed.

And by those “things” I mean relaxation. Although [...]

Scrap Metal Beasts Made From Motorcycle Parts

Artist Robert Jefferson Travis Pond delves into scrap metal mostly from motorcycle parts, old gears, steel handles and a few other things to create these imposing, surreal animal sculptures.

Jurassic Awesomeness Shines in this Metal Crafted T-Rex

It looks like the latest creation of Andrew Chase is busy devouring anything that comes in its path. But that was kind of obvious given most creatures would fall prey to the “Tyrant Lizard”. The handmade mechanical creation was built using recycled metal that primarily came from transmission parts, conduit, plumbing pipe and unidentifiable widgets [...]

Giant World Map Made From Recycled Computer Components

Technology really has brought the world closer, so this giant world map made from recycled computer components seems quite fitting.

Monocle Wearing Steampunk R2-D2 Made From Recycled Materials

Aiming to re-interpret R2-D2 in a version that offered “future in the old” (as translated by Google) artist Charles Leonard made this intriguing version of a monocle wearing Steampunk R2-D2. To be true, we’ve seen a good amount of Steampunk and R2-D2 creations, but how do you ever manage Steampunk without a monocle? That’s just [...]
