Steampunk Giraffe Art w/ Metal Moving Parts
Saw this giraffe and thought it was done really well so I read up on it a bit. The artist is Andrew Chase and his website features other Steampunk styled animals, including a cheetah and elephant. The giraffe was built from transmission parts, plumbing pipe and electrical conduit. The area I found even more exciting was the fact that the giraffe was functional with moving parts and not just a statue. It features fully rotating and locking joints and a neck that can be raised and lowered. The attention to detail is phenomenal, Andrew mentioned that it took around 80 hours to build.
