- I Hand Carved 12' Alligator Sculpture headed to TPC Louisiana for the PGA Zurich Classic. This sculpture is made using stainless steel, foam, fiberglass and recycled tires. This Famous Gator roams the fairways of the PGA tour and it was an honor to sculpt him. #carving #woodcarving #sculpture

Do you like Tire or Wood & Epoxy sculptures better?
Tire. I love trash being reused. Re the trouser situation: This is the exact reason why all of my clothing is 100 % cotton. Once I wore some fashionable jeans, containing elastane, and they melted to my thigh. Not nice.
I absolutely love the tire sculptures for many reasons including re-use, makes for a beautiful covering and is highly creative. But I also love the wood / acrylic sculptures too.
Both, they each have their place.
Both
I like the wood and Epoxy better but I like the idea of tire sculptures they look cool
i was not expecting a 3 legged tire alligator when i clicked on this video but im so glad thats what i found. i didnt even know this kind of art was a thing. absolutely incredible
Why does it only have 3 legs?
@@eatyourgreens7300 im sure theres a story to it, but im not the right person to ask
Mert ez egy mutáns.🕊
The description says the gator is famous and the art will be presented at an event to honor the gator.

On your last video I suggested that your sculptures were too perfect, too idyllic, impossibly flawless depictions of nature. Wow is this sculpture a departure from that. I absolutely love how this alligator looks. It's vivid, it's raw, it's unfiltered, exactly as nature can be. Great job mate.
haha thank you! I wanted this guy to be raw and aggressive!
If I remember correctly there was an animal with no balls! He chopped them off!
@@gracenjuguna7292 It was a buffalo and he removed the genitals of it. There were no testicles involved in the original sculpture.
@@GothamCtySiren Poor buffalo
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I bet his neighbours are amazed at the stuff that comes out his garage
You can paint the back of the staples while they’re still in the box all attached. That way when you shoot them in they’re already the right colour
In the bison video, he said he had tried that but since the staple gun shoots them out with such a high speed, that paint comes off. So he has to paint them at the end.
Did he scuff them first?
@@Mrtimekilla Maybe even try gun-blue
The sculpture is a masterpiece and also the video production. Thanks Blake for taking us into your world!
Thanks Gitara!
1: This sculpture is basic and can be considered as a very easy sculpture for beginners.
2: this is not a masterpiece because it's simply not a piece of Art.
3: heathens are super easy to impress.
@@francoisjoly7696 your envy is flowing through your mouth into oblivion
A giccs világába!!🤭🕊
let me just slide this into the 200s for ya and I agree!
Thank you so much for the uploads Blake, Its an absolute pleasure when a new video of yours comes up!
Thank you for watching them!
This is both a great but also challenging material to sculpt with. I find it very hard to get fine detail with it, this is incredible! Thank you for taking the time to film the process and sharing!
Yeah I love sculpting with clay but have always been intimidated by foam, but I'm ready to give it a shot.
Really? As a non sculptor foam seems like it would be the easiest
Absolutely fascinating watching you create such an alternative work of art! Thanks for the step by step presentation!
All your sculptures are incredibly demanding on details, time, and yes, money. All of them are incredibly beautiful and realistic, and this alligator is no exception. Congratulations, it's an amazing sculpture.
Thank you Ray. I appreciate the support my man!
Wow I’ve always admired your tire art, this definitely is one of your very best sculptures. Congratulations Tripod for having Blake immortalized you. What an honor.♥️🐊 ♥️🐊♥️🐊♥️🐊♥️🐊♥️🐊
Thank you so much 😀
This is one of your best sculptures ever, mate. Completely perfect! The tires made for perfect Alligator skin, and whoooaa, those teeth! You are a menace as an artist, in the best of ways! This is the third or fourth time I watch this video, it's simply exceptionally great. Keep it up! Sending you loads of love from me, a Swede in Norway :)
It’s not perfect
*Absolutely blown away by your incredible talent and creativity! 🐊🎨 The hand-carved alligator sculpture looks absolutely lifelike and the use of stainless steel, foam, fiberglass, and recycled tires is not only innovative but also environmentally conscious. What an honor to contribute such a masterpiece to the PGA Zurich Classic. This famous gator is going to add a whole new level of charm to the fairways. Your dedication and skill shine through every detail of this sculpture. Amazing work! 👏👏👏*
This isn't just art....its a masterpiece 😮 I'm envious of the club for having this...
Thank you so much!
Masterpiece of destroying the environment
I began in the industry as a sculptor and this thing is mind blowing! Congratulations that’s an amazing piece of art.
17:38 done and done! Great work, my dad had all girls...I was the closest boy he had. Nothing better than being under the car with him, or his assistant on his builds. The 1st thing he ever made with me was an alligator out of wood and rubber for me to drag around on a string. Still got it with the heart and I love you inscribed under his rubber tongue... LOVED this, my dad would love your channel of he was still here. Congrats on all your commissions happy creating!
Lol pickme girl
You’re an inspiration! Thank you for sharing with us, and keep up the great work.
This is definitely a masterpiece.. I still can't fathom how you used tyres to give all the intricate shapes of the alligator's body contours.. freaking amazing.. 😱😱😱😱😱
Impressive work
Thanks Zohir!
This is super super cool… what an incredible creative talent and skill you have Sir! I can see it would take a lot of hard work and determination getting through a piece like this… I look forward to seeing more of your work! 😊
TRIPOD! I’m Gobsmacked with your creation and ALL the layers it took to arrive at the FINISH!
I literally just finished some practice pieces of an alligator character of mine, so this is extra special for me right now lol. I love your tire sculptures so much, they have an elegance and a wildness to them that I didn't think such a medium could portray, but your poses are amazing. Like high high end taxidermy.
Thank you so much Alder!
You have outdone yourself, I thought this was going to look really amateurish, oh boy, how wrong I was.
I was amazed by the amount of detail in the first half. Then the tires took it to a new level of awesome!
Thanks Daniel!
Honestly I don’t have the words to express your talent .
Knee hole pants..the Ramones in mid 70s.
Duct tape pants...Iggy Pop similar time frame..lol.
Love the sculpture.
It's awesome to see you carving (hur hur) out a niche for yourself with these commissions. You're the go-to guy for animal sculptures. I'm in my second year of running my own small business so I have some idea how awesome that must feel.
The sculpture looks great. As far as the material you use, I like seeing all different types. You don't have to be a 1 trick pony. Keep on sculpting and stay awesome.
Thanks Adam!
Whatever medium you use to sculpt, I’m freakin blown away! Love seeing tires recycled. Your brilliant! Tripod looks dashing. I love the juxtaposition of rubber and metal. You go Mister Wizard!!
Heavens to mergatroid that sculpture is breathtaking. Stunning artistry. Thanks for filming the journey for us!
I am a huge fan of the epoxy and wood sculptures. That being said, the eagle and now Tripod make it really difficult not to love the tire sculptures aswell. Fantastic work all around!
Thanks Pam!
Brilliant. Love the use of many materials. Thanks for sharing your idea's and skills👌 love your humour 😂
Thanks, Blake. Admirable work and sharing your process was very educational as well as entertaining.
Wow your sculptures are incredible ❤please keep sculpting 😊I LOVE YOUR SCULPTING 🎉😍❤️
I just finished an 80+ hour commissioned piece-I can imagine how much work goes into something like this-amazing piece. Great work-as always...As for "flying sparks" : Full length leather apron :)
I'm no expert, but I honestly believe that your ability to create such a life-like sculpture out of foam and tires is not too far off from Michelangelo's ability to do the same with marble. This is an absolute masterpiece! The things you do will always amaze me
Thank you so much Stephen, I am no Michelangelo, however one can dream!
lol i work with XPS foam.. its simple. carving out of stone is a million times more challenging and difficult.
Friend I love him, but you have exaggereted a little bit 😅😅😅
People really get impres so easy nowadays
@@sirmi9868 and thus more happier than you :)
Wow, the level of detail you work at is astounding. You're a true artist, and I can only imagine your Michelangelo-level backaches! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely amazing with perfection 😊
You combined all of my favorite passions into one video - sculpting, metal fabrication, spray foam and pure artistry. You're the man dude!
Not only are you so talented but the patience you have is insane
I love this! For years I’ve wanted to start sculpting cool stuff with tire remains from the roadside.
Wonderful craftsmanship!
Absolutely magnificent! But resisting the urge to say he looks tired... was too hard. 😁
Im sure he was having a Goodyear and that you had to tread carefully (ok ill stop with the tire related puns lol)
Very impressive work.. That is a lovely piece.. Well done 👍🏻👌🏻
Cladding the Alligator in bicycle tyre treads was a masterstroke. I wasn't sure that was going to work but it looks awesome. The sculpture is amazing
What an amazing creature to be able to honor. Honestly I like both the wood and resin and the tire sculptures that you do! They're both so unique and turn out so well! You do an amazing job!
Thank you so much Alice!
Absolutely incredible, I’ve subscribed to support you and want you to create more masterpieces like this 🎉
🙀 Speechless! And NOT a cat video. I watched every minute, fascinated by how you were able to create something something so unique out of tires yet lifelike and true to form. Great sculpture and a well made “riveting” video. 💕
Absolutely amazing!
A month and a half of hardwork , dedication ,Sir ur absolutely Da Vinci's godson of art sculpture 😊 nicely done Sir 👍 beautiful
Thank you so much!!
That’s insane how good that looks! The texture makes it man
Thanks Jessie!
Time well spent. You are very creative.
What an absolute legend. This is stunning!
Gotta say at first I was like oh my god yes! Tires as texture for the scales thats absolutely brilliant! But then you also covered the big scales on its back. That kind of overloaded the whole thing
Only he knows how much effort,patience and hardwork to make such a masterpiece . You are such a amazing artist🙌
Thank you DN!
fabulous job on this sculpture
Really amazing work. Your have such a great eye for shaping and the carvings. 😮❤🎉
You never fail to amaze us, Blake.
I was wondering when an alligator was going to be the target of these foam/fiberglass/tire sculptures. The result is better than what i could have possibly imagined.
While i'm not a fan of golf or its negative environmental impact on native ecosystems/biodiversity, i can still very much see just how much of an honor it was to have this commissioned by Zurich. What a spectacular feat.
Truly cannot wait to see what you'll do next (as always).
If i only had the money, i would love to commission you to sculpt me a piece of my original alien species.
A distant dream to be, im sure but its still fun to imagine X)
Thank you so much! I've wanted to do an alligator out of tires for a long time now. appreciate it!
Really? You’re bringing an environmental agenda into a comment section about a beautiful sculpture? Just so you know, golf courses provide significant natural areas that benefit people and wildlife in increasingly urbanized communities across North America and throughout the world (according to Audubon International).
@@Easy_Going__ Aah! i didn't mean any disrespect to the piece by it, im awfully sorry.
Also i wasn't aware of there being much environmental benefits. That's on me.
Most things i've read on/heard of tend to focus on the loss of biodiversity with how much of the land gets turned from untouched prarie (with wild flowers and herbs and shrubs with their own fauna of course) into regularly trimmed grass and the heavy use of pesticides.
I was happy to read that they do try to be more eco friendly and provide for the wildlife that they allow to stick close-ish.
Thank you for the enlightement :3
@@Zuhqeel A very polite & reasonable response. Thank you.
congratulations your sculptures are really amazing! the most boring part must be touching up all the nails with black paint. Have you ever tried using black nails or doing a coating treatment to darken the staples before using them? if you find the right formula you could save a lot of time. anyway you're really great, your videos are a great source of inspiration!
I like how you recycled tires. How you recycled tires is amazing. This piece depicts a heavy animal. It looks like a heavy animal, but your other material choices were also amazing, making this sculpture manageable. Hope the clients liked it.
I love this! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this!😀
Tohle je prostě talent, každa čest
That is a level of skill and patience I will never know!
Outstanding!
2 BEASTS. 1 ARTIST. 1 SCULPTED.
My love of this 'gator is matched only by my loathing of golf courses! Absolutely beautiful work!
The sculpture is beautiful and the actual subject is adorable.
Cool never saw a tire sculpture before amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Its beautiful. I hope it gets to a beautiful resting place.
A wonderful job, I am very impressed. It's a lot of fun to watch 👍👍👍
I would love to see this sculpture in its final placement on the golf course. That would be awesome. Also a reaction video showing the expressions when this beautiful beast is revealed & seen for first time. Oh, my Goodness, reactions & wonderment are the best. You're such a talented, amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your process and how you create your sculptural inspirations!Blessings Always... Valentine
Great as always! Blake, you're really good. Congratulations!!!
Excellent work!👏
Wow, That's AMAZING! What a great job!
Totally impressed!!! Wicked work!!!!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant!!!
This is an amazing job what you did

Your work is so amazing! Love the alligator!
The end result is impressive, It must give you immense satisfaction seeing it all come together

👏👏👏
This is what youtube is for.
Amazing work sir. Thank you.
This is amazing ! Excellent work!!
I recently built a 3D Crocodile out of biodegradable pots and stir sticks for paint. Mostly it's solid but after watching your video I think I'll try fill her in with that spray foam to help solidify the body. Ty! Perfect timing for me and wow! What an amazing Aligator out of tires. Absolutely love it! ❤
I've seen several of your videos and this one made me a subscriber! I am born and raised Florida Gator! I would LOVE a FL Gator for my son and daughter-in-law. They are die hard Gator fans! If you do sculptures for customers I would be very interested. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! You are AMAZING!💥❤
Wow! Incredible artist! Great unique attention to detail.
Absolutely fantastic work
Watching stuff this is why I encourage kids to explore the arts find what moves you, this right here is ART.
Very cool. I really enjoyed that video. Great work. Thank you
Wow..! 😱 fantastic job. You are very talented. 💯% 👍👍👍👍
Loved that! Thanks for sharing 👌🏻
Time well spent. Unbelievably creative!
Dude, that's amazing. I'm awe struck. It's literally the most beautiful sculpture of a reptile that I've ever seen.
Blake and yet you astound your audience with the marvels of yet another phenominal creation of your sculpting master class. Absolutely amazing. More, more, more. 🐊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A huge fan in CA.👍
Thank you so much Ferro !!!
Your super talented !
Amazingly creative project!
I taught you'd messed up when i saw the tires.. what a Twist!
It looks really good!
Thanks for the video!
From Canada 🇨🇦
That is to cool. Great job. You are very talented.
Loved the rear facing time-lapse shot of the sculpture en route to its destination
I watched the entire thing with the volume off. It was captivating just as a silent film. As a props and sets fabricator, I was very impressed with your budget materials, your long hours, and your commitment to simple elegance. It all paid off.
That is really stunning - well done!
HOLY !!!! That thing is out of this world ! SPECTACULAR !
