Artist Blake McFarland shows off a pair of sculptures he built for the 2019 Cotton Bowl. He created versions of Penn State’s Nittany Lion and the University of Memphis Tiger out of Goodyear tires, wrapped around a foam and fiberglass structure. The sculptures weigh about 200 lb each, and used pieces from 400 tires combined.

Right out of the shop I put both @cottonbowl sculptures through rigorous tests by having Harper examine the strength and sturdiness of each. They both passed @goodyear #tireart #likenoother
