For the past 10 years Chris has been recycling is own broken skateboards and turning them into paintings and sculptures. He has done hundreds by now, that you can see in is webpages (the facebook fanpage albums are more straightforward).
With the years, the work has progressed more n more into sculptures, culminating in a 9 foot tall robot/chair that is made out of over 65 broken skates.
