Sculptor Tom Otterness created this amazing bronze tin man jungle gym as a private commission. That’s one lucky kid who has his or her own Otterness creation as a playground! Link – via Super Punch

    I hope they don't spend too much time in his lap.

    I discovered Otterness when he did a multi-piece installation in downtown Indianapolis a few years ago, and I fell in love with him. He really captures the innocence of childhood without being all ironic or quirky/"whimsical" about it. The best one in Indy was a sculpture called, I think, "Mad Mom" of a frowning woman with her hands on her hips. They put it in front of the statehouse, which I think was appropriate. :-P

    how is it a tin man if it's made of bronze?

    Wouldn't that get like, really, really, really hot? Remember to wear pants kids!

    Looks like there is plenty of shade in that park, so it probably doesn't get too hot.
