Nuts (and bolts) about dogs
As the owner of a dog who has an entire hardware store chain named after him (well, OK, maybe the hardware store chain came first), I can appreciate a dog made out of nuts, bolts, screws and other assorted doodads.
The pooch above, and below, is the work of Portland, Oregon artist Brian Mock, who specializes in pieces made out of found and recycled objects.
His series of D.O.G (Done out of Garage) sculptures is no exception.
“I’m intrigued by the challenge of creating something unique, fun, and inherently curious,” Mock says on his website. “I merge imagination with technical skill by incorporating unusual found objects and everyday items into one-of-a-kind pieces.
His works include abstract wall art and freestanding sculptures, such as auto art and welded works produced from found objects and recycled metals.
I think they’re pretty cool, and so does my dog, Home Depot. Just kidding. His name is Ace.
