    The punks loved them, doctors study them and the pirates flaunt them on their flags. You guessed that right, we’re talking about skulls. Now this may sound weird and disgusting to some, but skulls are now inspiring artists more than ever. And using recycled materials to make skulls of different shapes and sizes gives this emblem of death and danger a new lease of life. The Skateboard Skull is made by a Japanese artist Hiroshi using old skate decks. The artist loves skating, and instead of having the decks thrown away, he came up with the Skate Board skull. Artist Brian Dettmer from Atlanta came up with the cassette-tape skull, made from old derelict cassettes. Subodh Gupta from India came up with the kitchen utensil skull, representing the poor and starvation.
