Shoe Sculptures :: Jethro Haynes


Here are some cool little shoe sculptures by Jethro Haynes. I kind of wish he would do some more. LINK

Shoe Creatures :: Federico Uribe

At some point after this was initially posted, Federico Uribe set up his own website, with tons of images.

To see the selection of shoe animals, go to portfolio - installations - human nature. LINK

Shoe Masks :: Brian Jungen

Brian Jungen is a sculptor who seems to work with found materials, sometimes simply arranging them in interesting ways, other times, creating something new. I like his shoe masks because they create something new. I've set up this link to his gallery page to go directly to the shoe work, but he does have some other interesting work if you are interested.

Wire Bicycles :: Mr. Ma

Mr. Ma retired and started making these bicycles out of reclaimed wire. This is one of the simpler models.
 
NOTE: Unfortunately, the original link that had plenty of pictures is gone. The new link is the only reference I could find. LINK

Cardboard Vehicles :: Chris Gilmour

These seem as if they would be a lot of fun to make, except for the paper cuts. Just one bike shown here but other two- and four-wheeled vehicles can be viewed at his site. LINK

Miniature Motorcycles :: Jose Geraldo Reis Pfau


This guy makes miniature motorcycles from watch parts. He has a ton of them on his site, lots of different types some with a lot more detail than others. LINK

A cool laptop revamp. Link to the original Japanese post to see lots of good closeup photos. LINK

Steampunk Computer :: Apple Laptop


One of my favorite modified computers. I like that it is subtle compared to others I've seen. See the process and closeups of the final product. LINK
