Ogling Oddities at a Scrap Metal Art Yard in Houston, Texas
Former car parts and spoons take the shapes of mysterious creatures including prehistoric reptiles, bugs, and even aliens at Scrap Daddy's Art Yard. Art forms are scattered throughout this museum of sorts, among overgrown grass and metal scraps. Welder and gallery owner, Mark Bradford has an eclectic eye for art that has moved him to put his own distinctive mark on the many metal sculptures displayed in the outdoor gallery. Sights for innovative eyes include the 20-foot praying mantis (that I can’t get out of my mind), a flying saucer, and an automobile-sized scorpion. Bradford welcomes free visits to his yard daily.
Ever wondered what the future holds in store for us? I imagine that it would look something like this: the yard of metal creations at Scrap Daddy's is a whole other world in time! Like Transformers, common-day objects manipulate themselves into monstrous robo-lizards, scaled gorillas, giant dancing tribesmen and friendly dwarfs who are literally nuts! This place is the free Cirque Du Soleil, with so much to entertain your eye, it would take multiple visits to truly grasp all the captivating works of art. And even then I fear that would not be enough, as The Creator works to give new life to old parts on a daily basis. Like a good movie, it demands to be seen again and again.
