Chewing Gum Art
Ben Wilson has a remarkable talent. He finds pieces of chewing gum that have been spat on the pavement and turns them into miniature masterpieces. He heats up the tiny canvases with a blow torch and then paints onto the gum with small paintbrushes.
Have you spotted any of his pieces near you? Send them into us at hi@originofcool.com and we’ll add them to this post.
