Scrapdaddy's metal mosquito comes alive for Houston's Art Car Parade

HOUSTON, Texas -- Mark "Scrapdaddy" Bradford looks forward to the Art Car Parade every year. He has created some of the most memorable entries over the past two decades and this year is no different.

"I used all my tricks everything I learned over all the years and made it the best I could," Bradford said.

This year's creation is modeled after his first Art Car, a giant metal mosquito called the Trikesola. It's made of 98% recycled aluminum.

"I like to use pieces of metal that were designed to do different things and use them to make my creations come alive," Bradford said.

You can see Scrapdaddy at the 36th annual Art Car Parade Saturday April 15. You can also watch it live at 2 PM anywhere you stream ABC13.
