>> Wild Creatures - Made Out Of Old Farm Scrap Metal!



John Lopez, is a South Dakota-based sculptor with a love for all things wild, wild west! Old metal, that other people throw away, he is using to create beautiful art. John's website describes, how he has 'found a way to merge two art forms into a new hybrid sculpture of everyday objects mixed with limited edition bronze castings'. 




Lopez, who grew up on a ranch, was already a successful bronze sculptor, when he started experimenting with iron out of necessity. Influenced by his up-bringing he created these amazing life-sized sculptures. John has definitely made a name for himself in the art world, as his work is spread across the US.

Oh how we wish we could express ourselves as beautiful in writing as Erin Hanson can! We have just found this young and gifted writer who lives in sunny Queensland, Australia. Describing herself very modestly as a non-professional poet we have to ask: What makes someone a certified poet? If we let Erin 's work speak for itself it reveals her remarkable talent - articulate and imaginative. On her Blog ThePoeticUnderground.com you can find more of her stories and musings. Reading her poems is really a treat for the soul in this fast paced world. If she is not a true poet - then who is.. (all poems & photo ©  Erin Hanson )

Only we do this internationally. :)  The notoriously low spirited piece of dough, is famous in Germany for his TV Show ' Bernd Das Brot '. It is about him, being as grumpy as a loaf can get.   photo:  AP/ Thüringer Allgemeine To honor him, there is even a 2 meter tall statue of his likeness, located in the city center of  Erfurt, Germany since 2007. In 2009 this statue made headlines when an anonymous group abducted Bernd from his regular spot. A few weeks after that, he was found by police in a basement nearby. Their statement was: 'It is definitely him, he is ok.' Fynn and Bernd das Brot   Nobody ever really found out who brought the German cult figure into the basement and why. But he is good and back at his old spot and that is all that
