Hailing from Japan, Haroshi is putting old and tired skateboards to gorgeous use. As you can see, recycling skateboards can create awe-inspiring sculptures. And that's no easy task. They are comprised of a multitude of decked out wood after all. And that's where the challenge lies. Skateboards are not only comprised of many different particles, they also come in tons of shapes and sizes, making Haroshi almost a zen master of wood carving. That's not too far a stretch either as a common Buddhist practice is wood carvings. Via: Trendland

There's nothing sinister about a humanoid robot, right? I'm kinda worried about this whole robots taking over idea now.
