Boarders like Satori wheels. I like this shirt… and the elephant. Oh, the shirt’s made from good ‘ol hemp.

For all you heavy drinkers, or individuals desperately in need of a college keg party conversation starter – we present this recycled steel, combo belt buckle and bottle opener.
Actually this buckle isn’t bad looking in a chunky industrial kind of way. It will cost you $38 to be the life of the party. The buckle is created by Buncombe Buckles – belt sold separately.
Does art always embody some form of obsession? Perhaps. This is how French recycling artist Brauer describes his work, “In our modern world, where objects often have a single life, I aim at inventing a new existence for them by diverting them from their initial function. I particularly like the robust appearance of used steel and industrial materials. When I put them together, they start a new life as unique pieces of art, in which each component can tell its own story.”
What he does is reconfigure the recycled remains of our discarded industrial past into new pieces of art that include retro-looking robots, lamps and lights. Practical…probably not.
Brauer displays his luminary Frankensteins in galleries and exhibits (some of his pieces are currently on exhibit in Spain), and sells to collectors. To add another level of connection he even christens his offspring with names like Anatole, Zoe, Sam and Horton. Thought provoking? Definitely, yes.
