Barrel Dinosaur (Barrelosaurus) Construction Photo

photo by Brian Fields from TWC News 14

The local News 14 received a photo of the new Barrel Dinosaur under construction. We mentioned earlier in the week that the new Barrel Monster by Joe Carnevale is slated for Fayetteville Street at part of SPARKcon this weekend.

We’ll call it Barrelosaurus.

  Really?  People are still finding this cool? 

  Toolish, unoriginal, waste of time, and now….played out.

  I love it.  We’re finally beginning to work with guerilla and street artists and not against them.  I see good things in store for the development of the Raleigh arts scene… wish I could be there this weekend!

  I find it cool, untoolish, original, worth some time, and not at all played out.  But the number “160” is SO last year.

  I don’t see how it’s unoriginal if its created by the same artist.

  The features are fantastic! I love the shoulders, the arms, the eyes and the feet.

  I love the snout. The Chappelle fans out there may also share my love of the snout.

  I love that it is being constructed in the parking lot of an apartment complex. That things has probably been there for a week. Can you imagine the toddlers who peek out their windows at night to see a Barrelosaurus waiting for them to fall aslepp. Brilliant.

  Ever hear of blinds? It isn’t that scary. I would think the total opposite; i.e. I’m surprised some little children haven’t tried to destroy it.

  You are being sarcastic, right?

  I think some other college kid should vandalize it, that seems appropriate.

  I love the use of Hamlett barrels.

  @Aaron: Sean wasn’t implying that this is scary at awe.  He meant that the toddlers are probably giddy (ie: peaking out their windows) at the cool dino being built.

  
  I know as a little kid I probably would be begging my mom to let me out to go look at the thing.  It’s frickin’ sweet.  :D
