Via Coolest Gadgets comes these rather excellent Coke Can Sculptures of famous UK landmarks (and by UK they don’t just mean London, which is a nice touch). They also have a great green message, of reusing & recycling spent materials into something new:
The Big Ben is nice but I prefer the Birmingham Bull (above, in between the real thing and a curious passer-by) – creating buildings or other geometric forms is easier to do with cans than to create something organic and flowing: that takes real skill and an artistic flair. Hats off to sculptor Pamina Stewart for her work.
This isn’t the first time people have used drinks cans as inspiration for art – there’s also the Red Bull Art of Can project, and on a more whimsical note, the Crushed Can project blog, which is also worth checking out.
