Cam Pari the Calamari Making a Calamari for a gentleman (and I use the word Gentleman loosely)who loves fishing and wants to hang this piece over his BBQ..so it's fitting that Cam Pari the Calamari started life as a BBQ that I found in someone's hard waste ........ #calamari #squid #fishing ... #metalsculpturesp #art #metalwork #upcycle #recycle #australianmade #madeinmelbourne #metalart #migwelding #scrapmetalart #scrapart #junkart #handmade #welding #weldingart #fish #fishing #fishsculpture #trending #yr #fyp #trending #underthesea #bbq #milwakeetools

Deployable Omnipotent Terminator or D.O.T for short. D.O.T is based on Alpha Centauri..he can time travel and is sent by the Galactic Empire from galaxy to galaxy to rid the Universe and the Multiverse of Evil. He's an older model as his battle-ridden body shows..he has now been retired from active duty. He now spends his remaining days watching Brooklyn 99 and Friends reruns until his Lithium Uranium power source is depleted.

New fish 🐟🐟 Augustus Figlio di Gianni Why Figlio di Gianni.. because the same person who commissioned GIANNI is getting AUGUSTUS ....* WHY AUGUSTUS "...I hear you ask...it's Vince Trimboli's fault..he mentioned HOT AUGUST NIGHT ,and I've been listening to HOT AUGUST NIGHT on repeat while making AUGUSTUS...(AUGUSTUS=AUGUST).

Gianni Was named after Gianni Morandi because..no idea🤷🏼♂️.. Gianni is made from 99%recycled materials. His body ,fins and tail was an old stainless steel range hood,bike gears from the local bike shops bin ....his eyes are ball bearings from a drive shaft..rusty nails on his fins from work and old house stump for the base ..the only thing purchased was the paint....and welding wire...so maybe 98%. He was built for a Christmas Present...so hopefully the new owner likes him as much as I enjoyed making him....... #metalsculpturesp #art #metalwork #upcycle #recycle #australianmade #madeinmelbourne #metalart #migwelding #scrapmetalart #scrapart #junkart #snapper #handmade #welding #weldingart #fish #fishing #fishsculpture #trending #yr #fyp #trending #cycling #giannimorandiofficial #giannimorandi
