Sculptures Made From Recycled Automobile Parts
Sculptures Made From Recycled Automobile Parts by Tom Samui
Swiss artist Tom Samui has been creating junkyard wonders for the last decade or so. He works with a team of 15 people creating these amazing sculptures. Tom has created hundreds of these sculptures, entirely made out of scrap car and motorcycle parts.
You’ll find animals, vehicles, people, creatures from fantasy and even some furniture in his collection. Many of the sculptures aren’t small, either. His T-Rex is about 28 feet in height. The build process involves collecting cars from a junkyard, then sorting through the parts. Then they are cleaned, and welded together, then polished and lacquered. Nothing is wasted. It takes about 400 hours to complete a large sculpture. This translates to about two to three months.

Steve Jobs Portrait made out of 3,500 Apples
When he learned of the passing of Steve Jobs, artist Olivier Lefebvre made a last-minute change to his entry in the Quebec Land Art contest and decided to create this tribute to our beloved leader, made entirely out of Apples. The project took him about 50 hours in total to complete, but as you can see, the results were well worth the effort, as this easily ranks in the top four fruit-based Steve Jobs portraits we’ve seen this year.
