Trinity, Texas: Wildman - Metal Spiked Head Guy

22-foot-tall work by sculptor Jim Robertson, inspired by an 18th century German "Wildman" bear-wrestling costume. Those are over 1,400 railroad spikes in the sculpted head. Lights inside glow red -- Jim crawls in and changes them when they burn out.

Wildman

A huge metal birdcage has been added on the same lot as Wildman. The building just to the south must be where the sculptor works, as the metal fence is interesting and there are several whimsical metal pieces just behind it.

Wildman sculpture.

Metal Head Guy

Just seems like a very odd place for this to be.

[Samuel Cavazos, 06/11/2012]

Just your regular, neighborhood Hellraiser Pinhead. It's the work of artist Jim Robertson -- commissioned and originally displayed elsewhere, the 21-ft. tall sculpture, "Wildman," was inspired by an 18th century German costume.
