I Hand Carved 12' Alligator Sculpture headed to TPC Louisiana for the PGA Zurich Classic. This sculpture is made using stainless steel, foam, fiberglass and recycled tires. This Famous Gator roams the fairways of the PGA tour and it was an honor to sculpt him. #carving #woodcarving #sculpture

Do you like Tire or Wood & Epoxy sculptures better?

@rasmis Год назад

Tire. I love trash being reused. Re the trouser situation: This is the exact reason why all of my clothing is 100 % cotton. Once I wore some fashionable jeans, containing elastane, and they melted to my thigh. Not nice.

@DavidS5118 Год назад

I absolutely love the tire sculptures for many reasons including re-use, makes for a beautiful covering and is highly creative. But I also love the wood / acrylic sculptures too.

@katherine7444 10 месяцев назад

You can paint the back of the staples while they’re still in the box all attached. That way when you shoot them in they’re already the right colour

@dystrophic Месяц назад

In the bison video, he said he had tried that but since the staple gun shoots them out with such a high speed, that paint comes off. So he has to paint them at the end.

On your last video I suggested that your sculptures were too perfect, too idyllic, impossibly flawless depictions of nature. Wow is this sculpture a departure from that. I absolutely love how this alligator looks. It's vivid, it's raw, it's unfiltered, exactly as nature can be. Great job mate.

The 1st thing he ever made with me was an alligator out of wood and rubber for me to drag around on a string. Still got it with the heart and I love you inscribed under his rubber tongue...

You never fail to amaze us, Blake. I was wondering when an alligator was going to be the target of these foam/fiberglass/tire sculptures. The result is better than what i could have possibly imagined. While i'm not a fan of golf or its negative environmental impact on native ecosystems/biodiversity, i can still very much see just how much of an honor it was to have this commissioned by Zurich. What a spectacular feat. Truly cannot wait to see what you'll do next (as always). If i only had the money, i would love to commission you to sculpt me a piece of my original alien species. A distant dream to be, im sure but its still fun to imagine X)

@@Easy_Going__ Aah! i didn't mean any disrespect to the piece by it, im awfully sorry. Also i wasn't aware of there being much environmental benefits. That's on me. Most things i've read on/heard of tend to focus on the loss of biodiversity with how much of the land gets turned from untouched prarie (with wild flowers and herbs and shrubs with their own fauna of course) into regularly trimmed grass and the heavy use of pesticides. I was happy to read that they do try to be more eco friendly and provide for the wildlife that they allow to stick close-ish. Thank you for the enlightement :3
