work.

Crushed the Can, then put on the paint.
After the varnish dried, then I put it in a custom-made,

Black and White Dog Out for a Run

crushed can art, charles kaufman

After crushing the can, I flatten it a bit more to make a better painting surface.
Each can crushes into a different shape.
Like the painting on it, each crushed can "canvas" is unique.

My Crushed Can Art is one-of-a-kind art that cannot be reproduced.
