These are just magnificent!! in that I want to go take a joyride in that beautiful cement truck.
I wish the auto industry was more creative...instead of pumping out mass-produced shite that everyone has,we could be going in around in stunning art pieces..haha, i suppose these wouldn't be very practical...but super cool nontheless. That's why I looove my classic cars..they were made with imagination way back when.
Have a Good One!!
Those are fantastic. Wouldn't you love to have one of those parked in your front yard!!
magnificent!
You know... my birthday is coming up soon...
Oh my these are amazing!

I never knew heavy machinery could be so beautiful. I really love these. Amazing!

Good Lord those are beautiful! who new a dump truck could look so good?
Wow. I love them, if only are vechicle really had that level of detail and fancy work.
The last dumptruck is my favorite, it looks like you could really drive it!

I kinda really want that cement truck! It's purrrrdy!
WOW!!!

Stunning! I love the details of the laser-cut. I'm sure it's even more amazing to see these in person. It's interesting how they all have this gothic feel to them!
OOOOoooo so pretty! Think he can make me a piggy bank :)-
Could you imagine hearing this stroll down the street...LOUDNESS beyond. Crunchety-Crunch...gonna go eat me some Captain's!!!
He makes the objects he represents seem everything they are not. I'd never look at a real cement truck with such wonder and admiration. They're dirty, loud, air clogging, totally unlovely. His work is just gorgeous, really interesting.
These are freakin' rad!
Never doubt the artistic talent within all of us...

Oh WOWWWW!! Gosh these are exquisite! I want one! who would think of creating that?! Number 2 is my favourite. I've never heard of this artist before, so thanks for introducing me to such an imaginative amazing talent!
i love that the pieces are so delicate and lace like - used to make something so heavy and masculine
Gorgeous!!!
