This monstrous tribute to Disney’s rum-loving pirate stands almost 9-feet tall and weighs in close to 1000-pounds! The entire thing is made of old scrap metal and old machine parts (similar to these Transformers sculptures) and, the creative minds at Kreatworks Studio in Thailand coated it with a bunch of lacquer so doesn’t rust. While they refer to it as a "steampunk" sculpture we’re not really seeing it that way. It may be composed of a bunch of gears and such but it really just looks like an old-timey metal statue to us. It’s up for sale on Etsy right now.

Graphic designer, Taras Lesko, is known for possessing a pretty artistic set of hands, having gained fame for some of his elaborate works made out of paper. But his latest work is defined not just for the intricate work done on it, but also for its general awesomeness.
It took Lesko 285 pieces of paper to make 750 parts for this 4 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft scale model of the Audi A7. The man logged 245 hours of work to get it done. The finished product is nothing short of amazing, and the elaborate work wasn’t isolated on the exterior too. Even the A7’s interior, complete with the infotainment system, was carefully crafted to make it look like the real thing.

American sculptor Al Farrow creates Christian reliquaries and Islamic mosques as small scale masterpieces made with bullets, hand grenades, bombs and guns. This contemporary sculpture design mixes beauty with ammunition and danger with art as one of these sculptures almost cost him his life when one of the bullets exploded.
From a distance, Al Farrow’s compelling sculptures of reliquaries, mosques and cathedrals showcase beautiful lines, graceful curves and complex architectural forms, but as you move closer they become a jarring, social commentary.
