Steampunk Biomech Bronze Skull

It’s not everyday that sculpture and biomechanics merge. But the Biomech Bronze Skull design has done exactly that.

Thanks to his knowledge of human anatomy, biomechanics, and an unmatched passion for sculpture art, Christopher Conte has been creating unique art pieces like an articulated arm, a carbon fiber spider, etc.; and this biomechanical bronze skull seems to be a high-tech addition to his ever expanding repertoire.

Measuring 6.5cm x 9cm x 9cm, the skull is made using casted hand-finished and machined bronze, along with some components built in aluminum and stainless steel.

Despite it being detailed and intricately built, the skull can’t be called anything else but grotesque. However, if you still want to bring home this freaky futuristic skull, be sure to find a proper place to display it as many among your friends and family may despise it! LINK: Walyou

Wrecking Ball Lamp

Now here’s a clever lamp, with a light bulb as a wrecking ball! It’s made of solid bronze. See it and a companion piece the Crane Lamp at Designboom. Link, -Via: Laughing Squid, Via: Neatorama

Bronze Sculpture

Born in Oxford in 1966, David Goode grew up in the small Midlands town of Leek, Staffordshire, just north of Stoke on Trent. Stoke on Trent, also known as The Potteries, was the heartland of the Victorian pottery industry, and to this day is still home to many world-famous pottery houses such as Royal Doulton and Wedgwood.

The inspiration for David’s work stretches back to a childhood fascination with myths and folklore, and a love of the writings of Tolkein.

All the pieces are cast in bronze, using the ‘lost wax’ process, a method developed by the ancient Egyptians, whereby a new ceramic shell mould is both made and destroyed for each individual piece cast. This is one of the most costly methods of casting but its worth is that the nuance and detail of the original work is preserved in every successive casting. LINK
