Here's a thought for all parents out there that are sick of tripping over their children's toys on a daily basis: Make sculptures out of them, as Robert Bradford has done. These larger-than-life dog sculptures are created out of old toys, bits and pieces of plastic, buttons, brushes, pegs, and really anything that's laying around.
Robert Bradford is a London-born visual artist that mainly focuses on animal sculptures and the rare human figures. Robert Bradford's recycled sculptures are so wonderfully done that each one almost looks real--if not for their techno colors.
