Haroshi makes his art by recycling pieces of old skateboards. Still an avid skater, its only natural that he began to make are pieces by using old defunct skateboards. To Haroshi, his art pieces are equal to his skateboards, and that means they are his life itself. They're his communication tool with both himself, and the outside world.

Charley Harper "BIRDS & WORDS"
This lovely reissue of the highly collectible 1974 classic is a Charley Harper gem.

A book for every bird lover who knows there is more to birdwatching than measurements, range maps, flight patterns and lifetime lists. Birds & Words is a true reflection of Charley Harper, who was that special species of man with twinkling eyes and smile, with wit as infectiously keen and light-hearted as his paintings. Harper the humorist reads as captivating in the self-composed stories that accompany his serigraphs as Harper the artist. An active curiosity prodded him to constantly question nature. “What will happen,” He asked “if a buzzard, which eats only dead meat, comes upon a possum, which plays dead when threatened? The answer has to be that the mild mannered marsupial will win his Purple Heart – possumously.”

Extending Charley Harper’s beautiful work to a broader audience, AMMO proudly celebrates this American icon’s singular style.
