Skateboards and bonsai

[rockm]

Say what you will about the combination, but Aarin Packard at the Pacific Bonsai Museum is looking for new ways to pull in an audience.

I'd like a long board or luge with art like that art on it

Skateboard as the bonsai table.
Broken skateboard trucks as accent.
Hanging helmet, kneepads, etc as third point.

I feel using accent plant and just a deck is not fully commiting.

Are there pics of the final display?

Interesting, very interesting. I have been skating almost daily since i was 7yrs old......in 15 days i will be 35.

I'd like to see the full displays very much.

It's interesting. Although the artist calls skateboarding a wild action of fury, it's actually very much about flow and smooth movement.

Don't really understand the idea beyond attracting a younger audience to bonsai. Perhaps something else might feel more organic. I saw one composition on FB and it just didn't look cohesive and the message was not clear. It simply looked like a bonsai with a skateboard. I do give credit to Aaron for trying though. A very tough thing to pull off.
