Bad ass! Check it out…

[**Alastair Gibson**](http://www.carbonart45.com/), former BAR Honda Chief F1 Mechanic has combined his love for sculpture and car parts knowledge into wonderful works of art. Recently displayed at the Chelsea Art Fair, Gibson’s creations are basically familiar sea creatures that include sharks, piranhas, trouts, ans more. The sculptures are made from carbon fiber and real discarded Honda F1 car parts. The details of his fishes are really unique and amazing, even down to the teeth and fins, with some of the sculptures measuring up to two and a half meters long. Another creature also includes a hammerhead shark, which is one of the more impressive and more detailed works in the collection.
