Look, how amazing is it? That’s from a collaboration between Mekanism and Space Invader in 2006: three unique and original skateboards covered by a mosaic of Space Invaders handmade from old magic cubes stickers!
It’s to late for buying this stunning limited edition, but it’s never to late for creating your own one! Thanks again to Mekanism and Space Invader for sharing this!
Haroshi makes these crazy art pieces recycling old used skateboards. The most important style is the wooden mosaic; skateboards may seem like they’re all in the same shape, but actually, their structure varies according to the factory, brand and popular skaters’ signature models.
With his experience and almost crazy knowledge of skateboards, Haroshi is able to differentiate from thousands of used deck stocks, which deck fits with which when stacked.
After the decks are chosen and stacked, they are cut, shaven, and polished with his favorite tools. By coincidence, this creative style of his is similar to the way traditional wooden Japanese Great Buddhas are built. 90% of Buddha statues in Japan are carved from wood, and built using the method of wooden mosaic; in order to save expense of materials, and also to minimize the weight of the statue.
Hiroshi says : “I believe that if the small things we do can connect to sustainability then we’re doing something right. I’m satisfied in my effort when people look at products and start thinking of ways to recycle”.
Vice to celebrate the arrival of Skate 3 sent Vice staff photographer, and avid skater, Jonnie Craig off on a road trip to Ramsgate with a group of friends.
While they were there, they made the most of the best thing about skating, the hanging about with mates bit – an aspect which Skate 3’s revolutionary multiplayer features make use of for the first time. Skate 3 allows you to play with friends online and work as a team. No more sitting in your room in the dark racking up points alone, you can build the ultimate team and compete with others online, design your own parks and logos. In short – you can do a lot more than you can do in Ramsgate, and you can still do it with your mates.
Have a look at all the details on Vice’s website.
Because Refashinoso loves design, sport and healthy life!
