100s of Recycled Rubber Tires turned into stunning Lifelike Sculptures by Blake McFarland
Blake McFarland is a recycled-materials artist from San Jose. He initially started his art career with acrylic paintings. He had a passion for surfing, and he put that to good use by painting on surfboards, which became very popular. In 2013, he stumbled upon tire sculptures and became a wonderful sculptor. Each sculpture takes him more than a month to create. According to his website, "Blake portrays the animal’s muscle structure and fur using tires with different treads and widths."
Our Editor’s Experience
Blake McFarland’s animal sculptures use recycled tyre treads and widths to describe muscle and fur, making discarded material part of the form. It is meticulous craftsmanship with an environmental twist—these tyres found a much wilder second lap.
