Recycled tyre sharks, bulls, zebras and more by artist Yong Ho Ji

Pretty neat recycled tyre art by Yong Ho Ji.

It reminds me of the incredible craftsmanship that goes into local people’s shoes in some of the more rural parts of Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi. Locals use old tyres to make sandals (or ‘thongs’ as the Aussies amongst my trip called them) for wearing and selling/trading in the markets.

Thanks to Lost At E Minor for the heads up.
