Here’s another way to recycle apparently useless junk.

I must admit that, even though I’m very interested in recycling and the whole environmental issue, using bottle caps to create beautiful art, never crossed my mind. That goes to show you that we can find solutions to our problems where we least expect it.

This “painting” was commissioned by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), to celebrate Charleston’s master blacksmith, Phillip Simmons, who’s work can be found all over the Charleston peninsula.

    Anyone who says this was photo shopped is green with envy because they are not able to create something like this.

    People - in this case “painting” obviously does NOT mean an actual painting. It means an image has been created through the use of bottle caps. It’s like those large pictures that are made from a bunch of smaller pictures that have nothing to do with the larger image. Therefore, I don’t see why people think this is photo shopped.

    why do you think it is photoshopped? looks real to me…look closely, all the caps are different and you can even see the glue. why would anyone take the time to include the glue on photoshop?

    This is very nice it must have taken a really long time to finish. I don’t understand why you people are fighting over something so insignificant. The person who made this took time and energy to make it, and I highly doubt any of you has even accomplished anything half as good and creative as this, I know I haven’t. So quite arguing over it and just take the time to appreciate something once in a while.

    saying photoshopped is kind of like posting “first!”. It has become a joke. I believe it was xkcd that made a comic where someone talked about enjoying to insist that real life objects are photoshopped. Bored people go out and do so. Where this is clearly NOT photoshopped, you have to understand this was a joke, please chill out!

    I’d have to agree, and I don’t see the joke in calling something photoshop. This might not be a painting in the basic use of the word, but the artist which if you bothered to read the Source link, you could find out more about the piece and who the gentleman is. Bottle caps are fun, I have been saving up some for a year or so now for a project I am to do.

    Anyway, this is an interesting piece to look at, probably more impressive in person.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Im pretty sure the “Photoshopped” guys are pretty aware that its not photoshopped, they are just craving for some attention.

    That’s great but why would anyone want a giant picture of Bill Cosby?

    People make things like this all the time, it would actually be easier to really create something like that out of bottle tops than to bother photoshopping it, lol.

    Besides that, if you don’t like it and think it’s crap, why waste your time commenting on it? Just move on.
