Pull tab art

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok guys,
I'll admit first off that I'm a bit artistically challenged as the way I think is extremely logical/technical rather than creative, but i was saving up the pull tabs from every can of Coke that i drink, and i started making this piece of art.

There are a total of 401 tabs, glued down to a 12"x12" piece of aluminum sheet. The one in the middle is spray painted black "just because".


What do you guys think?
Hideous? Beautiful? Demented? Genius?

Sorry for the bad iPhone picture:

That's really pretty awesome. It really would make a great album cover.

It's a fitting tribute to what will soon be a fallen pancreas.

Art is subjective, as long as you're happy with it. Who knows, if you had a big name behind you people would probably pay money for it

I dig it though, nicely executed

I don't dislike it, but no really my taste. But keep on going with the art thing, and keep on posting them.

I dig it. I wouldn't hang it in my house, but it's a cool piece. Album cover worthy, certainly.

Sign it, name it "Fall of Violence and Man" and put it up for sale at the nearest modern art gallery?

I thought you were talking about these...

Despite what the wiki says you can find these in bars in Washington State, and Oregon I think.

Cool, but tacky.

I wouldn't hang it on my wall, either.
Make one that looks like Jesus and sell it on Ebay.
