Bart Hoe

Don’t Have a Cow, Man” – Found Object Sculpture

Medium: Found metal shovel, hand-painted
Origin: Discovered roadside in Cincinnati, OH
Title: Bart Hoe
Artist: Robert McFate

Robert McFate doesn’t just see trash—he sees troublemakers. While on a walk, Robert stumbled across this old discarded shovel and immediately saw something familiar: the spiky-haired silhouette of America’s favorite cartoon rascal, Bart Simpson. With a bit of paint, this once-forgotten garden tool now lives on as Bart Hoe—a pop culture tribute forged in rust and roadside redemption.

This piece is perfect for collectors who appreciate nostalgic nods, street art sensibilities, and objects with unexpected second lives.
