Award-winning artist, Dale Lewis is passionate about recycling and art. Over the past decade he has created more than 150 large-scale sculptures using scrap metal and found objects.
When asked about his passion, Dale says, "My hobby has become a full-time obsession. There's no turning back now - this is what I want to do when I grow up!"
"Radar"

I used a unique auger from my local sewage plant for his spine, many different satellite dishes for his plates and then carved his head from a Delta Airlines oxygen tank. At sixteen feet long, he's about half the size of an adult Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus are known for having the smallest brain-to-body mass ratio of all the dinosaurs. With all his satellite dishes, I think "Radar" can sense things his less equipped cousins can't.
