From trash to treasure

I came across these smashed cans where someone has added a face to them.  I don't know who the artist is, but I love how he or she has reflected the angle of the can into the face.  In a way I feel like they could just come to life and walk away.  But I am interested in what you think about them.



So do you think they are cool, interesting, boring or maybe even a little creepy?  Do you prefer their eyes open or the sleeping ones in the last image?  Do you have a favorite one?  Does the one can remind you of Mr. Snethen?  What would you paint on a smashed can if you found one?

  1. I think that the cans are really cool and a bit creepy. but the last one had to be the weirdest to me because they look so realistic.

  2. I like how this person is taking cans that would be trash and making them into art. They are painted so realistically that you look at some and wonder if there eyes will open or they will blink.

  3. I don't understand what would make this very hard. It just looks like someone mashed a pop can, and drew a face on it. I think we should do this because even I would be able to do this.

  4. They are interesting and also creepy, because of how the eyes look. I prefer the eyes like the one with the glasses since it is the least creepy. The closed eyes remind me of aliens and open is just, unsettling.

  5. The pop cans are nice and creative the person did a great job and making the faces and putting diffract types of texture into the cans.

  7. These are pretty cool. I think I prefered if they´re eyes were open because the sleeping ones kinda freak me out. My favorite one is probs the guy with the mustache. Yeah I can see the resemblance between with the guy with the mustache and Mr. Snethen. I would paint me.

  10. I think this is a really cool idea. I like how they thought to use pop cans and turn it into art. I would've never thought to do something like that.

  11. I think it is cool that they can make something that would be considered trash into a beautiful work of art. I like the ones that have their eyes open. I like the one with the eyeglass and the mustache the best.

  12. It makes sense. I have seen the comments above, and they say it's just trash, but if you look at it, it's hard work. It's dedication and time. People that took the time to create something that they believe is beautiful is something that can't be taken away from them.

  14. I really like some of these, but some are really creepy. My favorite one was the one with the mustache and the monocle. He kinda looks like the monopoly man.

  15. These pieces are very funny. They are really unique and different. I would never have thought of the idea to do these.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like them. The sleeping ones are peaceful looking and seem content with life and where they are. Using trash as art is a good idea.

  17. These still look like TRASH. If I saw an artist putting this in their gallery, I would be ashamed, even though it's better than what I can do.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This one is really creepy. I really don't like it. To me it looks really dumb

    ReplyDelete
  19. This is cool but creepy. It is unique but I wouldnt really want to do this kind of art.

  21. I really like how they take old cans and turn them into something really cool. The faces look so real.

    ReplyDelete
  22. These are really cool. They seem to be a bit easier but you would still have to be careful on how you fold them. It would be a little creepy if they were just sitting on side streets.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I really like the heads on the cans they look so good on the cans.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I like that some took something that no-one would appreciate (except maybe recycling) and try to make it more. It shows that anything on the street, from your lunch, or maybe from the trash can become into art. It can show you a different point of view.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't know exactly how I feel about this art. I can not really say that I like the faces because they remind me of Thomas the Train and he is kind of whack!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think that's cool and something I would do for fun. I'm always seeing faces in things and drawing them in my mind. They're pretty cool but also very creepy.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Those cans look amazing and I really have no idea how they made them look so good

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think the one with the moustache does remind me of Mr.Snethen. and the other ones are creepy and weird. and I think the person who made these are probably insane and should be tied up on a straight jacket and put in one of those nice fluffy prison cells with cushions everywhere.

  29. wow, anyone can be an artist, honestly. im gonna be the first one come up with art out ramen noodles.

  33. These look pretty cool. Its not art you think of seeing. Its different and that's why I think its neat.

    ReplyDelete
  34. it is a very weird painting but also verycool on how tey did this and the faces

    ReplyDelete
  35. To be honest these are super weird. I would never be interested in trying this. Creative artist though.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think its cool how they put cans in their painting.

    ReplyDelete
  37. These things are pretty cool. But they are also very weird. But overall. great job

    ReplyDelete
  38. those are cool cans, the one looks like mr. sneethen kinda but theyre all super cool and someone could probably make money off of them

    ReplyDelete
  39. These are very creepy and dumb in my opinion but other could like them. Personally I think they were kind of a bad piece of art. If I saw these I wouldn't really think much about them;.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I think that the painting looks beautiful and that the painting must have been very time consuming because its excellent

    ReplyDelete
  41. I like this concept because it's turning a garbage into art and that's something people will always overlook,the fact that we have piling up garbage, I love these peices tho

    ReplyDelete
  42. I like this. Its cool but a little creapy at the same time

    ReplyDelete
  43. I really like this. Turning garbage into art is actually a really cool idea. It doesn't look like it would be too time consuming so either so it's cool to see something easy but still really interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  44. People say that garbage isn't art but this painting proves that it can be turned into wonderful art. I like how they made faces in the cas to make it look realistic. I love these , it's a really smart and excellent idea.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I like these tin can projects. But at the same time they are kind of creepy at the same time but cool. I would try to do these projects

  47. I at first thought it was a sloth. I personally think they're kinda creepy. Imagine walking down the street and seeing a pop can staring at you. I think the faces are really cool though.

    ReplyDelete
  48. These look very interesting and unique. I dont think they would be difficult at all. But they kind of look a little weird.

    ReplyDelete
  49. This isnt really cool. How creepy would the art room look if we did this as a project??there is seriously an artist that just does this? not my style

    ReplyDelete
  50. I don't like this one. They look creepy and i wanted want to do this project.Did they use cans?

    ReplyDelete
  51. THis is my most favorite thing that I have seen on this site. THey are very creative. I love them

    ReplyDelete
  52. this would be cool to do with all the cans at my grandparents house because they have tons of cans to do use, which would be good because i will probably screw up a couple of times.

    ReplyDelete
  53. tis is really cool on how they did this on cans and all the detail in the faces

    ReplyDelete
  54. really like how they take old cans and turn them into something really cool. The faces look so real.

    ReplyDelete
  55. this is really cool and it is also really funy

    ReplyDelete
  56. I like how they can incorporate faces on cans and it makes it even better with the background and it makes the art 100 times better

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think they are a little creepy, especially with their eyes closed. It does provide a good use of trash though. Yes, the one with the mustache looks a lot like Mr. Snethen.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think they are very interesting, but I also find them a little creepy. The artist who made this found a cool way to reuse trash, which I think is very cool. I prefer the ones with their eyes open.

    ReplyDelete
  59. These are so cute! I would definitely have one of them in my house.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love this art style. It combines to things I'm a major advocate for, being creative and reusing/repurposing old or damaged items. This is definitely something I'll try at a point in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  61. These are very cool. You could easily make this project. It looks like all you would need is a can and some paint.

    ReplyDelete
  62. They're cool but definitely not something I would hang on my wall

    ReplyDelete
  63. The heinz can is a funny looking project. It really a odd project it is just a bend can.And a face on the bottom of a can.

    ReplyDelete
  64. this is probably the weirdest project ever. Just because of what they used to make the project. Why would any one pick a face out of everything to make out of a can.

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is really interesting and unique. Taking something that somebody would just throw away and making it into art is really cool.

    ReplyDelete
  66. These are pretty creepy but I would enjoy making these. They could be cute depending on how you do it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. This is by far one of the most created art ideas i've seen. I lime how they use literal garbage and make it into art. I think it would be cool to do something like this.

    ReplyDelete
  68. They are extremely beautiful, but also really creepy at the same time. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I like these because its taking something everyone sees as being worthless cause it has no value. Making projects out of trash is recycling and I like that. Taking worthless things and making it worth something.

    ReplyDelete
  70. These are really creepy. I don't like them. Maybe if they had more of a cartoon face, but they look like they're planning something bad.

    ReplyDelete
  71. These ones are really cool because your making some old garbage into some art.

    ReplyDelete
  72. The cans with faces looks cool. It looks easy but I could be wrong. Looks like a fun project to do.

    ReplyDelete
  73. This is weird but seems like a good idea to recycle I guess. I wouldn't buy it if they were to sell it. They have lots of detail and I respect that.

    ReplyDelete
  74. This is almost a creepy project. There is a lot of detail in the faces. I think it would be a difficult project to try. Just from making the can so perfectly to making the faces.

    ReplyDelete
  75. i like how creative the faces are. I like how the second one from the bottom looks like thomas the train kind of. I like the creativity in the project.

    ReplyDelete
  76. this would be cool to do with all the cans at my grandparents house because they have tons of cans to do use, which would be good because i will probably screw up a couple of times.

    ReplyDelete
  77. just drawing a face that realistic would be hard, painting it on a bint, crushed can would be really hard

    ReplyDelete
  78. Thos pop cans looks funny. . Making projects out of trash is recycling and I like that.I would like to try this one day.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I think they look creepy but they did good art work.It looks like a fun project to do

    ReplyDelete
  80. I think they look kinda creepy, especially the one with the eyes closed. i do think its cool that they recycled things to make art though.

    ReplyDelete
  81. These could maybe be cool if the designs were different. To be totally honast though the way they look is kinda creepy.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I like the way they folded the cans, it's very creative.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think these are very cretive. I personally dont like them because they are sort of creepy.

    ReplyDelete
  84. These cans are actually really creative and pretty cool. I think it would be a good project to make for mother's day because my mom likes this kinda stuff.
