Wire Art by Robert Newman

This site features the artwork of a friend, Bob Newman. He's a street artist in San Francisco, and he's incredible. He can turn a coat hanger into an engaging 3-D sculpture in less than five minutes. A few examples are featured here -- his wire cats and dogs, measuring barely four inches tall and selling for $5, are well-known in the city. Check back often; this site is in its infancy, and lots more images will be posted in the coming weeks.

P.S. Bob was born and raised in New York, and he says that while cats are his biggest sellers in San Francisco, dogs are, far and away, the wire hanger of choice in New York City. Does this say something about the cities' attitudes? You be the judge. Bob's signature piece is Mr. Tophat, featured here at the end.
