A-J Welding and Steel has crafted some bananas metal artwork for outside of their shop. One minion, strumming a guitar and one raising a hand in either a wave or a high-five. Even at a weld shop, there can be a little despicable fun to spark the perfect weld between steel and silliness. Keep an eye out for these minions guarding the shop on West Jordan Street in Newton, IN

Created by artist Ethan Estess for the 2018 Billabong Pipe Masters surf contest, the "Plastic Free Pipeline" is constructed of stray flip-flops, old fishing nets, plastic bottles and other marine debris. Definitely worth seeing so take a walk out behind the food trucks at Sharks Cove on Kamehameha Highway on the North Shore in Pupukea, HI
