I created a life size bison out of recycled tires, stainless steel and foam. This sculpture will be displayed at the Henry Vilas Zoo located in Madison Wisconsin. Go check it out if you are there!

Without a SHADOW of a doubt, I couldn't care less what it is I watch you make.. every single sculpture made by your hands is **100%** worth watching. It's amazing to watch you make anything and wish I could have someone like you as a mentor and teacher. Honestly fella, whatever you do, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.
Just amazing

The whole process is interesting to me, I wouldn't leave out any of the steps. Please keep doing what you're doing! Thanks!!
Thank you John!
All of it!
I agree completely. Besides you can always just fast forward. Don't know why you would though.
@@BMSculptures the eye sockets must have been nerve-wracking. No real going back if you removed too much foam. Adding to a sculpture always seems an easier option to me than removing, as in stone/wood carving Beautiful and very different end result for this bison 🦬 useing the rubber tyres. Congratulations, it was definitely worth the effort put in, in my eyes.

I think your tire and metal sculptures are the most unique out of all of the artist's videos I watch. The mix of media reminds me of Bobby Dukes, and I love it. However, I am particularly fond of your wood/resin art.
Woodworking!
Kaleidoscope p if comfortability thjkinmkhhhbjiuhh blink😊
It’s hard to choose a favorite. I love the variety of all your works!
Thank you so much!
What makes your creations so interesting to watch is that you don't just stick to one method! The switch from metal to epoxy to wood to tires keeps everything fresh and exciting :)
My son is named Blake too. He served in 3 wars tours. Injured in Afghanistan and is a single dad! Seems every Blake that I have everything met are really extraordinary people!!
Beautiful! The foam taxidermy model was just genius! I bet it saved so much time
me personally woulda liked it more had he made the entire thing by scratch
Where can buy the taxidermy model please?

Your artistry is fantastic in any medium and ever evolving, but it's your creative process that I find most interesting. How you learn things as you go along depending on material interactions or you decide to go in a different direction makes your videos very educational for all us novices out here. Keep up the great work and follow your dreams. We'll keep watching.
Love this piece! ❤ I’m a budding recycled metal artist and marine biologist, and I love the fact that you used recycled materials to make an organic sculpture. So fascinating to see your process and techniques. It inspires me to get back in my shop!
You’re work and level of detail speaks for itself, rather epoxy or bike tires you nail it every time! Keep up the good work.!!
Thanks Jerry!
Honestly, I like watching ALL your sculpting. So cool! It's pretty awesome you give old bike tires a new purpose. Keep doing what you do best!
This was a beautiful majestic piece. I love the wood / resin sculptures but this bison astonished me! Keep working in all your mediums. What an inspired artist you are.
I really enjoy the wood and epoxy videos but the tire ones are always a nice treat. This one in particular is freaking bad ass
I find the variety of materials to be part of your sculptures' charm. I suppose I enjoy the wood and epoxy the best, but I love watching them all and seeing what new techniques you'll show us. Love the work and amazing videos!
Amen! ❤️🔥👌🏾💯
The tire sculptures are absolutely mind-blowing. Literally stunned at how well you make feathers and fur look using old tires.
Love watching you make all of your sculptures!
You slay both mediums. Nobody gives lifeless tires a song again like you do... but if i had to choose it would be the unparalleled grace and depth of your wood/epoxy creations. God positively dumped talent into you... I'm stoked to see whatever it is you bring to life next!
😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, as always, amazing. To be honest, I love watching the process of all the different types of sculptures you do - it keeps it interesting.
Thank you so much 😀
Yes, I agree, all of your types of sculpture are very interesting
Every sculpture you've done has a very big impact Keep doing what you're doing. You've made quite an impact on me for sure!! Thanks for all you do for people who are watching how creative you!! ♥️♥️
Everything you do is amazing, so keep showings us videos of all of your beautiful work. Thank-you for sharing it with the world, not just us local Fresno folks.
I love all the different types of sculpture that you do. I wish there were more of them to watch as your talent is a joy to watch.
GREAT SEEING ENTIRE PROCESS AS YOU HAVE DONE HERE!! Absolutely amazing work!!!! A true artist. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
most of it was done by other trades
The medium used in a project can be anything. It's your ideas and talent that make the videos interesting.
I have to say that I honestly don’t care what type of medium you use. I find the actual thought process, the planing, the correction if a mistake happens, etc. is what I truly enjoy. I love that it always is so much better than what I had pictured in my mind! Love watching you and seeing the final project!!
Been following since you had like 10k followers and I’m always amazed at how detailed and amazing your work is. Dude you deserve all your success. The hard work put in does not go unnoticed. Blake you’re the man!
This is my first time with you, so far your fabulous. I mean I’m damned impressed with the tire sculpture. And I love that your upcycling tires. And I’m a fan of all forms of sculpture so I’m looking forward to following you. Especially since your inspiring me to try my hand at some form of sculpture. Snow, ice, and food have been my only mediums for sculpture thus far.
I am totally amazed at all the work you do. I really enjoy watching your ingenuity in visualizing each one. I'm 100% hooked on your videos. Keep up the excellent work.
Both are amazing. Please never stop creating these breathtaking pieces.
I actually think the variety between the two types of sculpture is nice. I know that doesn't help much, but I love the epoxy sculptures and the metal/tire sculptures are pretty darn awesome.
Subscribed 👍 You asked what we preferred to watch… mate I will watch all of it. Loved your epoxy and timber whale, 3 legged alligator and now the bison… all absolutely stunning. Love watching your process, trial and error and reveals. Keep up your amazing work.
Absolutely fantastic!! I love watching you create sculptures. Thanks for sharing
The sculpture is stunning, just like you. I'm glad to be alive while you are. Love you man! ❤
Another epic sculpture. I love watching your art come to life regardless of what materials you are using 💜
Your process is so amazing to watch. Thanks for letting us see how these creatures are created.
You can make whatever you want or need to make....the process of all your work is fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing the journey of each piece.
Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
All the sculptures that you make are amazing! Just seeing everything come together puts me in aw! Also I'd love to know what the people driving past you or behind you where thinking when they noticed the bison
oh yeah.... I received some very interesting looks!
‘Come’ being the operative word.
Did you try blueing on the staples to see if that worked?
@@BMSculptures well if you really wanted to make it a male you could have done forever round that area like you did the neck kinda like what it shows in that picture and make it a bit more flatter against the stomach since if you noticed in the pictures it's not actually hanging like how you had it the only way you can actually tell their mail from the side is literally that tuft of fur at the end
@@foxo4992 Question: is it male or female?
BREATHTAKING craftsmanship! Truly inspiring.

phenomenal! my hubby & I have been catching up with some of your older videos. We're both blown away by your talents and really don't mind which medium you choose for your beautiful creations. 😍😍
All your sculptures are amazing whatever they are built from. A very beautiful bison.
This is the first bike-tire sculpture from you that I've seen since I subscribed! I found the combination of the very different patterns super interesting visually. I think they're both great! The key to longevity on KZhead (may not be true for craftsmanship work like sculpting outside of YT) is to keep expanding and branching out into new avenues of content-making slowly over time, so in my eyes, the more types of stuff you make, the merrier! :)
This is truly amazing Blake, your attention to detail is inspiring and in answer to your question, I prefer working with metal but I am looking at using different materials in the future so the more I'm exposed to, the more I can learn. A healthy mix of mediums is good content for me 😊👍
Congratulations. Brilliant work you did it. My baby have only 3 years old loved to watch this video several times. Thank-you so much sir
I personally love them all!!!! Thank you!!!! Amazing work!!!!
I got hooked in your epoxy resin videos and you're the only one who I know doing tire sculptures who is really amazing, whatever you do you're really talented even with the video production.
I really like recycled material crafting videos!! You did such a great job!
Blake, I enjoy watching ALL of your sculptures, your talent is amazing. I tend to favor the resin and wood sculptures. Please continue to share!!!!
Would love to see it all .. Good, bad, mistakes accomplishments hints and finally a finished work of art. I find it all part of the enjoyment. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing! For the staples/nails, perhaps you can use anodized materials. Not sure if they exist for this purpose, but I guess you could DIY it.
Your work is awesome, man. To answer your question, I enjoy watching both types of projects. I like your art in general, so I’d watch any style of project.
Thank you so much Ian!
any kind of Your sculpture and the process behind them is pleasureful to be watching. Thank You
I love your use of materials like foam, you're giving me ideas for projects, thank you! 🦬
Insanely talented. I love watching the entire process!
You asked a question what we prefer to see. Me myself I like everything you do. You're quite an artist. I am totally Blown Away by your art.
Your work is beyond brilliant, if it hasn't made you one of the most renowned sculptors in the world then there is something wrong. 👍
We love watching whatever you make!!! I really like the epoxy work but I never thought about using old tires! That was really cool!! You have an amazing talent!
New viewer, just found your channel (it was the sculpture of the bear you did recently that caught my eye!). I love watching you work, I don't care what the medium is. The process is fascinating and the results are always outstanding. One request I would make is (where possible) for an after shot of the statue/piece in it's intended location. That would be cool. Thank you for your amazing work!
I just love every sculpture you have made. You are an extremely talented artist! I wish I had the money to order a sculpture from you.
You are an amazing artist , you never forget even the smallest detail . I really enjoy watching you work !
LOVE the addition of the tires!❤❤❤
I like when you make your sculptures anatomically correct, people are prudes. I would like to see you make more sculptures like the bull with that intricate inlayed pattern. That’s labor intensive but so amazing to watch and so breathtaking when it’s finished.
I can’t believe anyone objected to the bison being somewhat anatomically correct. I wouldn’t have removed it Jeez.
I probably like the epoxy a little more because of the mix with wood, but both are awesome and I hope you continue to do both. Also, I enjoy the sophomoric humor as well.
Hey 👆 I have something for you🆙🆙 T E L E G R A M
I love to watch all of your sculpture videos, wood and epoxy, to metal, foam and tires. So interesting, and cool to products that you use to create these gorgeous sculptures.
This thing is too cool! I personally liked the anatomical accuracy but I get it lol 😂 Have you ever tried cold bluing to try and blacken the staples before applying them? I’ve no idea I’d that would work to save painting them.

I love all of your sculptures!
All of your sculptures are awesome, love to see them all ❤
Everything I've watched you creat is amazing. Epoxy videos are my favorite most satisfying videos but man using recycled tires like this and just the details... You are inspiring bro. Keep it up, no matter what medium strikes your art. Thank you!!!
Always love your content dude
I appreciate that!
I’ve seen plenty of bison statues and such out in public with penises, if anything it looks odd without one
Anything you make is always fun to watch. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thing looks majestic. Thank you for sharing your talent!
From a european perspective, who is used to quite a lot of anathomically correct horse-sculptures, it is irritating that "this part" is now missing. Other than that, great video and great statue.
Given the rather cavalier mix of plains and wood bison attributes, the lack of genitalia (not much use without a scrotum, anyway...) is the least of its problems.
Female bison look the same as a male bison but without a penis.
Also how is it distracting? Does that mean that's the first place their eyes are going to lol
What part?
@@sauravixvutha4478 he is referring to the missing penis and scrotum.
Amazing work of art. I disagree with removing an anatomically correct part because some people might be too childishly obsessed with it.
Exactly, and how about the male animals in the zoo? What are they gonna do about that?..

This was the best most realistic carving I have come across - just amazing detail and skill!
Always love the idea of recycled material into sculptures, and the (painstaking process) of epoxy into art!
I enjoy the whole process and every style you use. It's amazing to see how you start, your thought process while creating, and the unbelievable beauty that you have created.
I absolutely appreciate all the sculptures. As I love the variety. Much continued future success.
Thank you for recycling those tires! Your amazing. Great work of art. You’re one of the kind. God bless!
Whatever you decide to do, it will be great to watch! As always, congrats for the amazing job! 😊
The whole thing. It's SO GOOD. I think we all want to see the entire process.
Amazing work. I like both the wood epoxy and tire sculptures.
All of this are spectacular ,you are a very gifted person, thanks for sharing your talents with us!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoy all your videos, but your epoxy wood sculptures are by far my favorite.
I like the mixture of watching multiple sorts of styles and materials used. So not a specific one. It depends on the sculpture and what your head wants.
The fact that you don’t only do wood work but recycle and weld too. Holy sauce man you are freaking amazing
LOVE watching ALL of your art videos. Keep them coming 😁
God has tremendously blessed you in your sculpting skills!!! Everything you make is amazing! Thank you for blessing God!!!
Absolutely amazing. God bless you for your creative gifting.
ALL of it sir, I want to see all of your types of work. Love this one too.
All of your sculptures are amazing!! Keep on keepin on!!
I love seeing all the different ways you sculpt, it’s all very cool and interesting to watch how you create.
I like watching your process, your work is inspiring. it also helps to see that everything doesn't always workout as planned....but there is always a way around the issue, even when it seems catastrophic.
Whatever you create we will watch and admire. You sir, are an artist in every form of the word.
I love watching the diversity of your sculpting
I like both, but if I have to chose, it’s the epoxy ones. It’s especially fun to see the transformation when the piece goes from WIP to finished shining sculpture.
I like all the different medias that you sculpt in. I draw and carve wood sculptures, and I'm going to get into metalworking. For me it helps when I can figure out what to do next. I really what you do. thanks for sharing.
I like both your styles. Keep em coming.
Anything that you work on is a pleasure to watch!💕💕💕
I am thoroughly impressed with your talent! Thanks for sharing 😊
You are such an amazing artisan! STUNNING WORK!
