Riding a skateboard is talent enough, but creating three dimensional works of art out of old broken decks is something else completely. The Skate and Destroy Sculpture Exhibit was put on by HARVEST by haroshi and features murals and mosaics that look like they were created from anything except skateboards.
When you see the layering that went into some of the pieces you can just imagine the painstaking work that went into them and the countless hours they took to create. I'm crossing my fingers that the Skate and Destroy Sculpture Exhibit will roll its way into my city's art gallery.
