The New Look of Combined Tricerosaurus and Helicopter


Have you ever seen a tricerosaurus and a helicopter combined in one? It's not a character of transformers but a true art that an animal and a helicopter combines in to one look, it's called Triceracopter.

This prehistoric, post-Vietnam political war statement was sculpted in clay over a Vietnam-era U.S. Army-spec OH-6 Cayuse helicopter, then covered with fiberglass by renowned and controversial artist, Patricia Renick. Behold the mighty Triceracopter. Or as we dub thee -- TriceROFLcopter.

Created in 1977 for her solo exhibition at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center and fully titled, 'Triceracopter: Hope for the Obsolescence of War," it has recently been put up for public consumption either by a 'qualified museum, institution or individual.' We can see the perfect location in our house for the mighty Triceracopter now -- just have to ask the misses if it's okay first.via
