We found this amazing collection of rusty old metal beer cans. Carlos sculpted the parts which were cast in resin and then he hand painted and customized each one. No two cans are alike and each is a different vintage brand. Signed and numbered out of 50 on the back. Bagged with a header card. At $100 this is one of the best deals of the show. You can’t get a piece of his art for less.

Bill Barminski is a well known fine artist whose work has been featured in Beyond the Streets LA and NYC exhibitions. His primary focus is working with cardboard. This is another example of making fun of the medium. Each piece is completely hand made and totally compostable!!
