Artist's Comments

The Elephant’s Back

23”x23”x69”
~230 lbs.


Inspired by the surrealist Salvador Dalí, this piece of art work comes from the painting “Temptation of St. Anthony”.

Inside are blue, green, red, orange and yellow LEDs controlled by toggle switches underneath, they allow the owner to select any color combination they would like.

The outside is rusty 10ga steel, torch cut, ground and welded to shape. It has been treated with an epoxy clear coat to prevent further rusting.

The Five spheres in the middle are heat formed acrylic sheet, specially treated to create the bubbles in the middle.

The four spheres that make up the feet are cast concrete.

Looks great man! I really like this piece. And the Temptation of St. Anthony as well. One of my favorite paintings.

i also like the split views. It really portrays the image better than most any other ways (Except perhaps an animated GIF?)

Looks really great. Keep it up!

I like the idea of an animated gif, but the file size would be huge.

What would be nice is links to alternative views done the same way eBay does them.

These are so awsome. Very surreal looking. It's awsome that you can change the color. Really amazing work :clap:

Yeah. I completely agree. I think that they should implement multiple images for a single submission. Especially for 3d work. I've been wanting that for a while now! Perhaps some day!
