"David Wasserman -- Tin Can Artist"

David Wasserman (1917-1999) was a graphic designer and cartoonist who experimented in his spare time with the artistic possibilities of metal collage. For more than thirty years, he nailed small pieces of tin cans, aluminum soda cans, and other metals to sheets of plywood. The results were large-scale but incredibly detailed pictures.

Since he wanted to explore all the possibilities of his chosen medium, the style of his work ranges from abstract to cartoon to realistic, and his subject matter includes famous people, powerful beasts, the depths of space, family photos, and an urban cityscape. Take a look, and enjoy!
