If you are into Suicide Girls, I have a couple of wall sculptures you might be interested in. An additional sculpture is pictured after the break.
As these garden sculptures illustrate, not all aliens visit earth to probe hillbillies in pickup trucks. Many use our planet as a top notch vacation getaway.

The world renowned crystal artists at Daum in France have been making high-end sculptures for collectors since the late 19th century. Unfortunately, many of these sculptures are aimed squarely at the worst kind of consumer—insanely wealthy individuals with horrible taste. Case in point—this limited edition sculpture entitled “People Belong to Elephant.” According to the description, Chinese artist Chen Changwei “breaks with tradition, reinventing the Chinese zodiac in a series of surrealist busts in the time-honored tradition of pâte de cristal.” In this case, he depicts a bizarre cross between elephant and man.
Just in case you haven’t noticed, the Discovery Channel is in the midst of its 21st annual Shark Week tradition (July 27th to August 2nd). To commemorate this momentous occasion, I present to you this 8-foot Revenge of the Great White Shark Sculpture. You can put this monster anywhere you have room—but if you are fortunate enough to own a pool, a setup like the one illustrated in the image above is ideal.

The thing I like best about the “Merciless” Gargoyle Wall Sculpture is that it is subtle. Something than can blend in easily with the rest of your normal, everyday, non-gothic castle decor.
Seriously though, this amazingly detailed sculpture is the work of artist Gary Chang and accepts a standard 40-watt bulb.

Here is yet another reason why you must refrain from burying corpses in your own yard. Miracle Gro is a lot more powerful than you could ever imagine.
The Zombie of Montclair Moors Garden Sculpture is a life-sized creation by artist Alan Dickenson that is sure to scare the hell out of any Jehovah’s Witnesses and Girl Scouts that may come knocking on your door.

There must be something cosmically special about your garden because it attracts aliens and mythical woodland creatures. Although, this particular “Bigfoot” is only 2-feet tall. But hey, a Tinyfoot is an even better photo op if you ask me. At any rate, keep that camera close at hand because the way things are going, you never know when Jesus might show up to your BBQ.

These automated sculptures entitled “Which is the Mask” sprang forth from the mind of artist Dan Torpey. When the button on the base is pressed, each handmade figure will raise a mask to their face—revealing that they want to stick their tongue out at the world. I’m holding out for the “Which is the Middle Finger” version.

If you have been reading Nerd Approved for awhile, you know that we are all about offbeat gadgets and gizmos. These Cheese Cracker sculptures by artist (and lunatic) Herbert Hoover are definitely some of the weirdest household items we have ever come across.
“Hoover creates life-size sculptures out of vending machine and gas station snacks, giving the owner a yummy piece of pop art and a snapshot of American convenience cuisine. Witty and beautifully crafted, these copper cheese sandwich crackers are carbon copies of the real thing, right down to the tiny ridges, bumps and the slight puff of processed cheese in the center.”
If you liked this, check out some of Hoover’s other work including the Cheese Crackers Pewter edition and the Ice Cream Sandwich edition.
