Re-Tired Chimps “Hear No Evil”. November 2024 / “See No Evil” – February 2025: “The Three Wise Monkeys” (Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil). I completed the first sculpture on November 22. I wanted to make chimpanzees, not monkeys. The challenge was to create them from (mostly) recycled bicycle tires, tubes, and other parts! After researching further, I knew that I couldn’t replicate the skin tones with black tires, so I decided to make the base of the bodies from recycled cardboard and paper. This would give me a more natural color for the skin and a solid structure for applying the hair.
The Re-Tired Raven: I am proud to present the very first piece of my Re-Tired Series – a stunning sculpture crafted entirely from discarded bike tires and mounted atop an old bicycle rim. This piece, the signature work of the collection, depicts a magnificent Raven emerging triumphantly from the tire, reborn and revitalized. I am thrilled with the result and love to share it with the world.

Here’s “Dave“! He’s one cool dog cruising down the road in his doggles! 😀 Dave is made from old bicycle tires and is ready to roll! Check out my video of Dave on my YouTube Channel
The Re-Tired Blackbirds- having a conversation: Two little blackbirds, expertly crafted from recycled bicycle tires and parts, perched on the handlebars of a repurposed bike, engaging in a lively conversation. It’s hard to say what they could be discussing – maybe they’re just biding their time until their next thrilling ride?

The Re-Tired Blackbirds- building a future: The art installation consists of life-sized blackbirds that have been carefully crafted from recycled bicycle tires and other discarded bike parts. These creative minds have not only been created into an aesthetically pleasing piece of art, but they have also taken a step towards a sustainable future by constructing a nest out of scrap rubber and wire. Their innovative approach towards recycling not only showcases their artistic talent, but also their concern for the environment.

Blackbird Pie: “Sing a Song of Sixpence, Pocket Full of Rye. 4 and 20 Blackbirds Baked in a Pie”
This isn’t your Grandma’s pie! Well, unless she uses recycled bicycle tires to bake with. The blackbird pie sculpture is a playful twist of the well-known nursery rhyme, Sing a Song of Sixpence. Instead of using regular ingredients, this one is made with recycled bicycle tires and a few retired blackbirds. It’s all done with love and is part of the Re-Tired Art Series, which turns old, forgotten items into beautiful works of art.
Here’s a gallery of new “Blackbirds on Bike Parts” made from old bike tires
I have created some “Re-Tired Roses”, which make a great gift! 😀
