Raser Project: Junk Art Genius

Does junk in your backyard, storage or house drive you crazy?  It does me!!! Clutter is unbelievably frustrating!  There's the sorting, the disposing, the storing, the sentimental values attached to it, or the plain laziness of thinking what to do with it.  Surprise among surprises when I had the honor of meeting a junk artist par excellence in Butuan City (110.1 kms, some 5 hours away from Cagayan de Oro City, 214.8 kms from Davao City).  I was amazed at what Ronald Serapio, a businessman and an undeniable junk art genius, could do with unwanted scraps of old hairdryers, flashlights, keyboards, cpu's and computer mice (?!) (mouse units).  It was amazing how Ron's could skillfully piece together odds and ends and with the magic of spray paint,  create robot models that are eye candy to both art enthusiasts and droid fanatics.  While appreciating the large collection of junk art showcased in GSubd Bar (located in Guingona Subdivision), I was thinking that this guy deserves recognition for the work he does (really Discovery Channel material!) and thought of how he could inspire young children (and even older ones) to recycle and create treasures out of trash.  With Ron's permission, here is email address, should you wish to contact him (news networks, Ron's junk art is newsworthy and kid friendly, too!)  RONALD SERAPIO, JUNK ARTIST, BUTUAN CITY raser_33@yahoo.com.

Here's a sampling of Ron's amazing junk art, but these are absolutely best seen on site.
