With a Passion for Skateboarding: Creative Art Sculptures by Haroshi |... Now that’s a sick madness! If you have never heard about Japanese wood sculptor named Haroshi, go get the wind of his most original conceptual art. As a creator of amazingly beautiful wooden sculptures out of old, crashed and broken skateboard decks, Haroshi passed for a man of considerable resourcefulness. His multicolored and meticulously sculpted art pieces simply astound with lifelike affinity, so in whichever way it’s even possible to mistake them for being real!

In his works he stacks many layers with all piece elements being connected either in their original form or in shapes to form wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels. After that they’re cut down to size, shaven to get rid of the debris, and afterwards coated with a final glossy finish.

Artist nails the perfect portrait - using tens of thousands of SCREWS |... By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 18:34 GMT, 19 February 2011 This artist could be accused of having a screw loose after spending the last two years drilling screws in attempt to nail the perfect portrait. DIY Da Vinci Andrew Myers creates unique portraits of his friends and family by drilling everyday screws into planks of wood. The 31-year-old artist spends over six months and uses up to ten thousand screws to create just one of his three-dimensional portraits. Andrew Myers creates his unique portraits by drilling everyday screws into planks of wood The Californian said he first came up with the idea while he was working at a church two years ago. 'I was doing bronze reliefs depicting the life of Saint Catherine and thought how cool would it be to create something entirely out of screws. 'I'd always wanted to work with screws, I got the idea and that was it, six months later I had completed my first piece.

But despite the hefty price tag, Matthew said the portraits were not a big earner.
