Rocky

This is Rocky (with beer bottle for scale), short for Roquefort or Roq le Coq, as my husband likes to call him. Since we first found the artist by his installment in Roquefort and that's the general area he's from, it seemed to suit him. It also suits us since we are such early birds, and now we have our own rooster (only he won't annoy our neighbours!

His head is made from a ball from joules de boules, a game that they play over here that I don't understand at all. The waddle under his chin also moves and swings when you hit it!

He's made of all sorts of different bits and pieces like nuts and bolts, screws, spark plugs, etc. Can't seem to figure out what the pieces are across his back, though.

The pipe holders and fondu burners that make up his tail

The fondu burners from the inside. Pretty cool!

This is something from a car. A brake disk, some part of the inner wheel? I'm not sure. He was pointing around that area on the car when he tried to describe what it was.
