Squashed Beer Can Painting


I've been doodling on packaging and coffee cups for a while now (please see some of my earlier posts for examples). A while back, my blog buddy Richard (Aaaarph!) sent me a link to Charles Kaufman's excellent work at his blog crushedcanart and ever since, I've been wanting to try a bit of can art myself. Well, there was nothing much on TV last night apart from debates on the upcoming General Election here, listening to politicians from the various political parties come up with the same old promises. It was making my blood boil so I took it out on my beer can and got out my acrylics...very therapeutic! Anyways, I enjoyed it so much, I've had a good root around in the recycling bin outside and flattened some more potential canvases! I think my wife is becoming a little concerned about my mental health, but once she sees I'm happy she generally lets me to it....also please check out the amazing can art of Rik Catlow
