..I just love these and even though I don't usually do colour, I would definitely have one of these in my house...


Japanese skateboarder and self-taught sculptor Haroshi has creatively combined his two passions by creating striking and stylish pop-culture images out of the wood of trashed skateboards.

The unique appearance of his sculptures is all thanks to the composition of the skateboards he uses, which are created from multiple layers of processed wood. These layers are sometimes dyed as well, which gives his sculptures their distinctive striped appearance. The skateboards are then glued together and carved into various pop-art forms like hearts, skulls, and even sneakers.

As an avid skateboarder, Haroshi often recycles his own skateboards into his artwork. As he writes on his site, “To Haroshi, his art pieces are equal to his skateboards, and that means they are his life itself. They’re his communication tool with both himself, and the outside world.”

..I think these are incredible, they really do look like photographs...


'Although these pictures look like ordinary photographs of fruits and mundane objects, don’t be fooled – they are oil paintings on canvas made by young artist Ruddy Taveras from the Dominican Republic.

Taveras, who is 29 years old, joined the National School of Fine Arts in Santo Domingo ten years ago. In 2008, he decided to devote himself to hyperrealism with the aim to capture reality more accurately and objectively than a photograph. Taveras has already produced many still-lifes and has participated in numerous local and national painting competitions'

i wanted to post some good art, something beautiful, and thought i could think of something to put into google images... but all i could think of was gay porn stars.

I'm such a guy. :(

I like art when i'm not trying to think of art though... i'm not a total guy.

i just can't think of anything... but hot guys...

..yeah, I can see how that one train of thought might be a bit restrictive in finding a variety of artistic works..:laugh:...
