When I was in college... I did an art project with cola cans that I cut up into devil and angel shapes. I thought I was cool. Artist
Paul Villinski just blew my coolness waaaaay out of the water. He has made this series of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G butterfly installation sculptures out of 108 beer cans. He hand cuts each one from found beer cans in New York and New Orleans, and then they are suspended with wires so they can move around. Just stunning. Check out more of his work at his
website.
He's exhibiting at this weekend's
CA Boom Show in Santa Monica, so definitely check it out if you're attending!

thats such a wonderful concept...taking wasteful litter and making something so beautiful out of it!
so beautiful and light! i did a post on butterflies earlier this week... i'm going to link to you for my weekend wrapup!
digging his style. loving the dark blue.
That is just gorgeous!
Are you sure he hand cuts these, I mean what tool could you use to get such sharp detailed edges...I guess that's why it's art. It astounds and provokes questions lik..."how in the hell?"
