Insane Sculptures Created Out Of Tire Treads

ADVERTISEMENT

This is my fourth year working with Goodyear Tires and the Cotton Bowl, creating tire sculptures for the two competing NCAA football teams. This year I had the privilege of creating Penn State University Nittany Lion and the University of Memphis Tiger out of Goodyear Tires.

Start to finish, these sculptures were completed in just 15 days! The timeframe is always the hardest part of these builds. The reason there is such a short timeframe is because the NCAA announces the teams on December 8th, which leaves me only a couple of weeks to complete the team’s sculptures to be presented at the game.

Both sculptures weigh nearly 200 LBS each, and consist of over 400 Goodyear tires combined. There are also thousands of hidden staples, and screws. These two sculptures took nearly 400 man hours to complete and would not have been possible without my amazing team.

Special thanks to Jeff Kilbane, Jim McFarland, Camerson Sarff, Sky McCollough and Diego McCollough for making these sculptures possible.
