Recycled Tires and Animal Artwork

Korean artist Ji Yong Ho's weird tire sculptures have been making the rounds for at least a couple of years now, but they sure are new to me. I love how he uses the recycled treads to create the textures of skin, scales, and shaggy fur on his lifelike creatures.

What a delightful find--these are great! Too bad my art budget is in the tank right now; I'd love to acquire an example.

Wow...
I love the wet dog (or wet whateveritis).

Clever to integrate the texture of the material rather than fighting it.
Excellent ...but where's the cat?
