Yellow Bird


I found a runover (and rusty) can of German Radeberger Pilsner beer and cleaned it up a bit then gave it the hammer treatment for an improved flat look before painting.
You can see a larger view with back here.

Can Cat with Whiskers

This painting was done on a small can of coffee drink. The can seemed to be made out of something other than aluminum - real tough to flattened down.



On this cat painting I added some whiskers by cutting out some heavy-duty nylon wire I use for hanging my paintngs and then gluing them in place. Look closely around the nose area and you can see the three whiskers on each side.

Cute White Dog with Brown Spots



After flattening the Mountain Dew can (whew- lots of caffeine in there) I added a cute white dog with brown spots using acrylic paints.
Then I mounted it in a wooden frame.

Horns and Tooth



This character was painted on the flip side of a crushed and flattened Mountian Dew can. Everything is hand painted using acrylic paints.

Waiting for a Frisbee


The soft drink can was crushed, flattened and then painted with this smiling spotted dog standing in a field (waiting for someone to throw a frisbee, perhaps?).
Then it was mounted in a white frame, ready to hang.
