This Chinese barber believes that not all that is being trashed is actually trash.
If there is something about humans that cannot easily be rotten by time, that could be the hair. You can even find long strands in a decade-aged grave in the nearest cemetery in your place. Just take a look on how this Chinese barber do to make human hairs an amazing work of art.
In Jilin City, China, a 31-year-old barber is so lazy to sweep the hair he cut from his customers but he had time create it into something highly-detailed work of art.
Wang Xiaojiu can make everyone believe that he has drawn figures into the tiled floor but if you come closer, you will see painstakingly arranged masterpieces out of shorn hair that the barber has cut from his customers who visited earlier.
The talented barber said that he always thought throwing away leftover hair seemed like a pity, so one day he decided to do something creative with it instead. Armed with a hair brush and a plastic card, he started the piles of sheared hair on the floor of his salon into intricate portraits of popular cartoon and comic characters and, mythological heroes, and more.
Although he only started drawing with human hair a few months ago, looking at his beautiful creations, you’d be inclined to think he has been doing it for a lifetime. Paying great attention to details, like shades that almost make the artworks look 3D, Wang Xiaojiu has so far created amazing-looking portraits of Sailor Moon, Spiderman, X-men’s Wolverine, Bruce Lee and Iron Man, among others.
Wang says it takes him about two hours to complete one of his hair drawings, after which he always signs them with his nickname “Xiao Jiu” and snaps a few photos.
Finally, he sweeps the hair away to keep the salon clean, but he admits that ruining his own work is not easy. “When sweeping it away, I do feel hurt,” he says.
