Artistic Mettle (David Buckingham)
A dear friend of our family, David Buckingham, creates incredible works of art from found items where the jettisoned become the art of the jetset, including celebrities such as Josh Groban. His art combines the everyday, cultural iconography.
David roams the windblown alleys, abandoned factories, gritty industrial areas, dodgy neighborhoods, and low deserts of Southern California in search of the cast away, the discarded, the forgotten: old 55-gallon barrels, wheelbarrows, tool boxes, road signs, tractor parts, car doors, gas cans, etc.
These battered relics are carted to a dusty studio in downtown Los Angeles where they are muscled into works of art with a bewildering array of power tools and sheer force of will. All colors are original as found; David Buckingham is no painter.

I love these... I live in an old manufacturing plant converted to apartments, mine has walls of brick against which these would be incredible!
