Awesome tire sculptures

Tire dragon

Here are some awesome sculptures made out of tires, like this one on the left which appears to be a dragon.

The shark looks like it came out of the rivers of Mordor and is our favorite, but it wouldn’t have looked so good with this layout.

Wonder what the process of creating the sculptures is. Do they use new tires or old ones? How do they clean the old tires so that they look so black and new?

Time to find some tires and get cracking. Besides looking like a samurai, I bet armor made out of tires would be quite effective against knife attacks.

What else can you do with used tires? I’ve seen them used to create artificial coral reefs, plant hangers and as weapons of protest. Any bright ideas?
