Meet Jake Shelton, An Award-Winning Artist who Turns Classics into Sculptures

When you’re an award-winning artist, who has people like Snoop Dogg commissioning you with their furniture, and directors like Iron Man 3’s Shane Black asking for your help, it has to mean something. And trust us it means a lot. We recently had the pleasure to stumble upon the man’s Lamborghini bed completely by accident. We instantly felt the need to find out more. Turns out it’s quite impressive.

Don’t you just love it when something completely accidental happens to you, and the next thing you know hours have passed while you've been gone on a long searching journey? Well, maybe it’s just us, but it feels somewhat rewarding when you accidentally discover something cool. Anyway, that is exactly our case with Jake Shelton and his work.

Most of the man’s life involved car sculptures, as he admits that he was passionate about getting a personal addition to classic cars ever since he was an 8-year old boy. According to his own description listed on his website, Shelton’s work has appeared in countless prominent spots, as well as in the homes of many celebrities and collectors.

However, he went all fifty shades of fame somewhat recently, when he was commissioned to create that life-sized kinetic statue featured in Iron Man 3.

Sure, this is only one of the many other projects, such as the Lamborghini bed he specially designed for a Grammy Award-winning diva and a Cadillac couch for Snoop Dogg. There is also a 1964 Riviera living-room set for the drummer of a famed metal band. Apart from on-call, custom furniture that vary significantly, there are a lot of awarded pieces you can currently find on sale on Shelton’s website.

Since we’re not trying to turn into some sort of a personal agent, we’re going to put a hold on our petrolhead enthusiasm, and hit the brakes with this piece. Not before we advise you guys to take a short soda brake, and check the photo/video gallery we have nicely put together for your delight.

Enjoy!
