Something to Chew on

It Utne the magazine I have more then one refered to here, they have this section at the back where they feature the work of a new artist each issue, and it is usually always something unconventional and inovative in someway, and in the issue I am currently reading (I am a little behind and backed up) they are featuring this artist Ben Wilson, who paints on pieces of discarded gum that have just been thrown down upon the sidewalk and left there, and he does make very neat and colorful desgins and images, and it would be really cool actually to see a whole sidewalk that is just full of these brightly colored images of all different shapes, and sizes, and each one different from the other, I do think it is an intresting idea, and a sort of nice way to try and sort of beautify the city from the left over litter of other people and would probaly brighten the moods of those whom passed and offer something of a conversation peice, but a part of me has got to wonder, who would want to be the person that paints on old, chewed up, trampled on gum, as neat as it looks, I do not think that I could or would do that.

I decied to search on line to see if I could find any sampels of his work, and I acutally did, they are neat I have to admit, and it is cool even if slightly distrubing that he does this
