Sept 27, 2010: Jalopy -Art-

The Australian artist James Corbett, 46-year-old creates these sculptures using salvaged old car parts.

Mr. Corbett states that hunting down the parts is the most time consuming aspect of each sculpture.











I think this stuff is wonderful because it's all energetic. Any one of these pieces looks like it will start moving any second. He's somehow gotten the toned musculature of live animals perfectly correct.

There are many other examples at:

Those are brilliant, unfortunately I was looking for a valve cover for an '86 Mazda and this guy took the last one.

He should display that spark-plug sheep on the side of a dam.

I do like.

And you know how picky I am.

Steampunk animals are not nearly as tasty as real ones.

I've been thinking for a while on this - Still cannot come up with any recipe for them.

Gonna need a serious marinade.

Monsieur Mangetout might disagree.

No no no, IOtD is open to any member. Just follow the format (mon/day/yr/title), and don't reuse a date that's already been posted.

LOTS of fiber though...

I have a spare '86 Mazda valve cover. Make me an offer.

Michel (Monsieur Mangetout) died of natural causes on June 25, 2007. He is buried at Grenoble Cemetery. But was ressurected when large horseshoe magnet was dangled over his grave in 2008.
