Robert Jefferson Travis Pond is a master recycle artist who uses old parts from motorcycles and other peices of scrap metal to create massive beasts.
Pond is quite the interesting character who is described in his bio as a participant of “full-contact origami” and a ladies man as he “woos women with his sensuous and godlike trombone playing.” What's more, his artwork is outstanding and looks like Animorphs combined with Transformers. If only these metal creatures could re-arrange into a hot sports car for Shia Labeouf.
Sir Lancelot wouldn’t have stood a chance if had been battling the dragon made by Robert Jefferson Travis Pond. Let’s just be thankful that these animals are not actually alive.
