Chewing Gum man

So following my recent trip to London I thought I would do a quick blog update, those on my Instagram account would have already seen these (must admit I struggle to update my blog via my phone, or even comment on others unless they have the 'i am not a robot' verification images turned on, any way I digress).

When in London I try to visit south bank and millennium bridge because the amazingly talented Ben Wilson aka Chewing Gum Man has probably make some new art! 
He paints pictures over chewing gum that has been littered in the floor and they are little pieces of beauty created from something discarded.  I also love the fact that every day thousands must walk over them and rarely do I spot another person looking at them!









Pure works of art

Chewing Gum Man

There is an artist in the UK called "The Chewing Gum Man".  To find out all about him search for "Ben Wilson".  He is incredibly talented and paints OVER discarded chewing gum you find on the pavement!


This the Millennium Bridge in London.  It is a well known landmark from the Tate Modern across the Thames.  Thousands must walk across this every day but in today's rush I am not sure how many notice the small things.  

As you cross, walk slowly and look down (the view along the Thames is fabulous but once you have taken that in, look down....and whilst those around you rush past....spot these...)




  I am not sure if this refers to the Grenfell tower fire, but love the heart and community logo.


 Love the statement on this one, so personal.



 So many different styles and subject matters.










Love the idea of these and something to keep your eyes peeled for.

Happy crafting
