Korean Artist Molds Mythical Beasts using Old Tires

What better way to entertain and help save the planet at the same time than with recycled art? And this installation takes the recycling part very literally by using old tires. It’s the brainchild of Korean artist Yong Ho Ji, his mythical beast structures ranging from the miniature to the massive. Since graduating from Seoul’s Hongik University, he’s completed a master’s in New York and has had his work shown in both his adopted and home towns. A real talent.
