This sci-fi take on one of Africa's most singular creatures will make for a very cool desk partner or an excellent conversation piece nestled amongst your shelves. Armando Ramirez handcrafts it from a combination of recycled auto and bicycle metal parts and gives it a rough, rustic finish for added grit.

The Mexican artisan has turned his childhood pastime of crafting toys into an art form that has allowed him to exploit his ingenuity and his creativity. He uses scrap metal from auto shops and bicycles to create sculptures, decor pieces, and even chess sets. The popularity of his creations has enabled Armando to start a workshop and dedicate himself full-time to his artistic pursuits.

So unique and great detail and craftsmanship”

I first purchased a piece of Armondos metal recycled art here in the US at Christmas village, it is a holiday outdoor village market, that they have for about a month only during the holidays. It is a village of different cultures/nationalities, from all over the world. I bought an upcycled Motorcycle piece. Unfortunately all I have is a photo of the box, with the picture of the item on it. As I gave it to someone as a gift. It was just so unique, the perfect gift for whom I was purchasing it for. Fast forward I returned to the Christmas village yearly looking for his stuff again, but to my sadness he was not there. About two years ago, I found his art work here on Novica and purchased another piece(Truck Cab) for a gift. Again the gift was a hit, the person loved it, and its uniqueness, that no 2 are really the same, because they are hand crafted. I am a big Fan of Armondos upcycled art.
