Haroshi を立ち上げる -> Recycled Skateboard Art

February 24, 2010, at 8:13 am

I really enjoy the artwork of artist, skater and designer known as Haroshi. Having grown up a skater and a Super Mario Bros addict I naturally gravitate towards these works in a big way. Each iconic wall mural and piece of sculpture is created from recycled skateboard decks. Glued together, cut and shaped these decks [...]

Similar to a Nike Lab approach, the experience allows [...]

These amazing crop paintings are created by planting different colored rice plants in very careful and detailed formations. The end result is [...]
