Car parts art

[Thanks to Carter]
I failed at finding the source for these or a name for the artist. The info which comes with the circulating email is just: "These items below were all fabricated from junk of 1950 and 1960 automobile parts by a collector in Argentina". I think they are excellent sculptures, though, if I had the space I'd love to have one or two.
Update: substs points to James Corbett.

I've seen artifacts like these in real life.
Also parts from clocks and watches can be ingredients for beautiful craft work.

I'd like that dog or the owl if they were robots, but they just sit there.

thanks, substs.

Seth, Yes, I think you're right, they'd get old. Except if you really had the space for it. Or if it was in a pack rat house with ten children, where it could grow old with the house, get a nick name, so on.

That last photo looks like my high-school history teacher with Mister Janitor-Custodian.

But that can't be; she'd still be in the chicken place waiting for her order...

Now I know who built Michael Bay's animal Decepticons®! (^_^)

Two days ago, I purchased Ejector, the Decepticon that turns into a toaster. Really!
"Does it also make coffee?" Uh... no, I don't think so!
