Barrel Monster Bust

Joseph Carnevale from North Carolina, USA, is facing criminal charges for creating an amusing piece of public art from construction barrels. The artwork was constructed May 31 on a roadway adjacent to North Carolina State University.

Carnevale was charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly building his orange monster from materials pilfered from a construction site. According to an arrest warrant, Carnevale 'destroyed three road blocking barrels by cutting and screwing them together to form a statue.'
