Japanese artists Harumaki and Hirosher have released amazing works of art from old skate decks this week and turned the re-cycled wood into various ‘must have’ art pieces. Talking to Fad Website, Haroshi had this to say on their latest exhibition-

“We can’t throw away these decks because they hold sentimental meanings to us. I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can make with these. I decided to make some accessories with the old decks and this was the birth of Harvest. The works of Harvest are through the perspectives of a skater and as an artist. As a skater, I want to take responsibility of reusing skateboards when they were no longer useable. Also, as an artist I want to explore the possibilities of what can be done with skateboards.”
