Are your sculptures one of a kind?

Yes. Every Gabriel Dishaw sculpture is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece — 1 of 1. There are no editions, no reproductions, and no copies. Each work is unique to the collector who owns it. The only exception is the limited edition art print collection, where each print is signed and numbered in runs of 25 to 50.

What makes your work different from other upcycled art?

Gabriel Dishaw's sculptures combine authentic luxury fashion materials — vintage Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and other reclaimed designer goods — with vintage e-waste and pop culture iconography. The result is collector-grade art rooted in two disciplines that rarely meet: high fashion craftsmanship and electronic recycling. Every piece is built entirely by hand from materials that already have a story before they arrive in the studio.

Where has your work been featured?

Gabriel's sculptures have been featured in Hypebeast, Engadget, The Verge, CNET, PBS, designboom, My Modern Met, Boing Boing, and Discover Magazine. His work is held in private collections worldwide, including notable collectors like T-Pain and Jason David Frank, and has been commissioned by Capital One, Nike, Warner Brothers, Deloitte, and Mortal Kombat.

Are the luxury brand materials used in your sculptures authentic?

Yes, all luxury materials used in Gabriel Dishaw's sculptures are authentic. These materials are carefully sourced and incorporated into each piece to create a unique blend of luxury and upcycled art.

Do you accept custom sculpture commissions?

Yes, Gabriel Dishaw accepts custom sculpture commissions. Each commissioned piece is handcrafted using upcycled materials and tailored to the client's vision. To inquire, email gabriel@gabrieldishaw.com.

How long does it take to create a sculpture?

It depends on scale and complexity. A smaller sculpture might take around 40 hours, while larger, more intricate works can stretch into the hundreds of hours over several weeks or months — and that's just the active build time. Sourcing the right materials often adds days or more.

What materials are used in your upcycled sculptures?

Gabriel Dishaw primarily uses reclaimed electronics, e-waste, vintage typewriters, and adding machines, often combined with luxury materials including Louis Vuitton and Gucci hardware and leather, to create one-of-a-kind sculptures.

How much do your sculptures cost?

Prices vary depending on the size, complexity, and materials involved. Original sculptures start around $5,000 for busts and smaller works, with most pieces ranging between $6,500 and $15,000. Large-scale and life-sized works are priced higher based on the scope of the build. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original. Art prints and merchandise are also available at more accessible price points.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, Gabriel Dishaw ships sculptures worldwide. Shipping costs vary depending on the size and destination of each piece and are calculated at checkout.

Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.

The Tusken Raider has always fascinated me — its fully wrapped, head-to-toe aesthetic made entirely from reclaimed and repurposed materials felt like a character already living my philosophy before I ever picked up a tool. Replicating that wrapped, layered look in authentic Louis Vuitton felt less like a creative leap and more like a natural fit.

Every panel, strap, and surface is crafted from authentic upcycled Louis Vuitton — monogram canvas, original brass hardware, full-grain leather straps, and key pouches repurposed as armored chest panels. The iconic breather — the breathing apparatus seen throughout the films — is faithfully reconstructed in LV leather and original hardware, the detail that firmly locks the piece into the Star Wars universe.

This is a fully wearable helmet presented on a custom bust base.

This piece has sold and is part of a private collection.
