French artist Edouard Martinet (previously featured here) scours flea markets for everyday objects that he uses to create awesome animals and insect sculptures like the ones you see here.

“Working with a variety of refuse materials such as rusted kitchen pans, typewriter keys, car lights and other scrap metals, Edouard Martinet sculpts several types of animals and insects.

Each masterpiece is carefully assembled after having drafted several detailed sketches.”

What a positive collaboration between two- and four-legged creatures!
