SEXY CENTAUR BOY vintage wooden toys sculpture 1000 PIECES no 133

SEXY CENTAUR BOY vintage wooden toys sculpture 1000 PIECES no 133, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Sexy Centaur Boy is my version of the mythical creature with the head, arms and chest of a man but the legs and lower half of a horse. He was created with vintage toy bowling pins, old doll arms, bishop chess piece tail, vintage blocks and a very cool handmade folk toy rattle with a wood ball inside. The rattle is made with half light wood and half dark and spins in the block base so he can pose and look around. Centaur Boy measures 17 1/2" tall by 5 1/4" wide. He's signed, named, dated and my new boyfriend:)

GLOBAL POULTRY vintage globe and tool sculpture 1000 PIECES no. 143

GLOBAL POULTRY vintage globe and tool sculpture 1000 PIECES no. 143, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Global Poultry is a big headed chicken who wants to come live at your house :)

He was created with an old world globe I never thought I'd part with, it actually was part of an assemblage table I made years ago...it's old, banged up and really discolored as seen in the pics. He has a vintage car turn signal beak, toy wooden bowling pin legs, old wood doorknob and a vintage hammer. I'm assembling my tools, it's officially a sickness...

Global Poultry is made to hang from two nails under his hammer head or could be leaned up against a wall. He measures 17 1/2" tall by 6" wide and sticks out from the wall about 7 1/2"
He's named, signed, dated, number 143 in the series and a barrel of barnyard fun. Thanks!

Kind words about my work..

Cat Bishop elevates recycling to an art form. Vintage objects collected from flea markets and thrift stores—old toys, dishes, cameras, car parts, game pieces—get assembled and reenvisioned as oddly human and animal sculptures. Singles, couples, and whole families emerge from her ability to imagine anything as a body part—domino feet, cue ball heads, xylophone torsos, teapot bellies. The beings that populate her world of art are both strange and proud—"feel good" creations that evoke sympathy and humor at the same time. Great gifts.

Cat Bishop has sold over 150 sculptures to date on Etsy.com, many of the buyers being repeat customers, evidence of buyer satisfaction. Her work resides in private collections worldwide, including Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland and the UK.
