Street Art - Chewing Gum Paintings

    Throughout the semester, I have been introduced to many new and different types of art, and this is just another example of the immense variety of art in our world. Digital Media class has shown me new types of digital art, but I can not resist looking at other types too... like those made out of used chewing gum.

 Ben Wilson's, a London based artist, creations might repulse some, but his skill and creativity should outweigh the germ issues and impress anyone interested in different art mediums. Wilson searched the streets for used bits of gum, ones that have been around for a while and thus lost their

moisture. He then heats them up and applies a lacquer, allowing his "paintings" to last.
