The Barrel Monster!
– -Hehe! –Maybe MonsterQuest should cover the Barrel Monster!
It’s an arresting sight…or at least it got its creator arrested! Standing ten feet tall, the Barrel Monster was the creation of Raleigh, NC history major Joseph Carnevale, who chopped up three stolen orange and white traffic barrels from a construction site to create this 10′ sculpture of a roadside monster thumbing a ride.
The police, natch, seized the monster and will probably charge its creator.–Is it art, vandalism, or both?–You decide, but I think it’s cool, as do a lot of other folks who’ve rallied to the artist’s defense!
Next, the street artist and college student may be attempting a barrel sculpture of a T-rex! And by the way, his 1997 VW Jetta is covered with hot-glued beer bottle caps!–Bravo!!!

Not bad! But, it’ll never top the guy who did that sand sculpture of a beached shark with a harpoon in its tummy.
