  • conna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I worked with a Mexican once that made sculptures like these out of bailing wire. I asked where did you learn to do that and he said "prison"...
  • eastshores, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Very cool. That is hard to believe they were scraps since some of them require quite a bit of uniformity to accomplish the look. He is great at capturing the essence of the creatures though.
  • tomboy501, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Metal and insects go together so perfectly. I can't believe those pieces were made without even a tack-weld here and there. Very nice site.

  • shotgunefx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've got one like that, but it's not as clean. Some welds visible. I got it down Cape Code, MA. They had a lot of them that were very cool.

  • ShyGuy91284, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now why the hell couldn't my university have made something cool like that out of scrap metal instead of a monstrosity like this - http://www.rit.edu/~930www/paley/ ?

  • sLydE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1shouldn't the section "Birds and Insects" be "Birds and Bugs" or something similar? There's a spider in there.
