Nicolai Howalt‘s Car Crash Studies series ties a post-crash carnage to artistic abstraction, as the photographs of metallic dents and scratches have a true sculptural quality. This contrasts to the chaos of the subject-matter to unveil a fascinating and hidden beauty in destruction. (via Beautiful/Decay)

Seriously the best photography and concept I have seen in a while. More form Brock Davis here and here!

Primarily known for creating three-dimensional sculptures from recycled skate decks, haroshi recently created this version of the Nike Dunk. The special edition Dunk was actually created from decks belonging to skaters from Nike’s own pro skate team and include boards from the likes of: P-Rod, Lance Mountain, Eric Koston, Brian Anderson, Cory Kennedy and many more. The pair is actually modelled on a pair of haroshi’s own well-worn shoes. These detailed shots (exclusive to Hypebeast and of course Nike themselves), illustrate each of the creases, crimps and even the knotted laces worked into the sculptures. Interestingly the curvature of the decks accurately matches that of the used Dunk, which is portrayed as a hidden message within the art. A second subliminal message is found under X-ray scanning, where “Sole in soul” is revealed, making a pun from the skate artwork that finds itself on the underside of the shoe.

Bought a new charger for my camera yesterday, been missing taking some photographs now and then, just bring it out on the weekend or something. Anyway this guy is a huge inspiration for me. Seriously, everything is quite beautiful. Look in the “Blackout” series, might be my favorite. Just inverted images of huge mountains.

This pixel series by Alicia Alleyne is pretty cool, like that one that looks like the death star.

This guy coming straight outta Holland has the most crazy sculptures. Now have bunch of shows in NY.

Quite stunning work from Josef. Just found one of his photos at tumblr and found the dudes portfolio.

This dude just made something i really would like to put up on my walls. I dont know if they are photographed but it looks like they are painted. Anyhow, stones in different positions. Looks really nice.

Check out the dudes portfolio here.

Just found this dudes stuff. Motomichi Nakamura is i guess this Japanese guy that makes just awesome stuff. Found him through Bengas – Baltimore Clap, and checked some of the other stuff out. Anyway, think it looks pretty dope!
