Construction Meets Art

Saw this story today out of North Carolina.

'Monster' Puts Student Over a Barrel

An N.C. State University student faces criminal charges for what is best described as a "barrel monster" built out of construction barrels that towered for a while over Hillsborough Street.

Raleigh police believe the monster was the brainchild of Joe Carnevale, a 22-year-old junior majoring in history. It had a short lifespan, up for less than a day on May 31.

Made of construction barrels being owned by a contractor working on the Hillsborough Street round-a-bout project , the monster sported a wide, toothy grin and pointed an extended finger at motorists on the thoroughface near the university's campus.


While I certainly do not condone theft or destruction of private property, his work is quite amazing. Below are the exhibit that got him in trouble as well as some other art from the blog, nopromiseofsafety.com
