I don't know how people will react to this one. First, yes I know chewing is bad, as well as all tobacco use but I still do it. We all have our vices. For me, it was chewing tobacco. I started ~5 years ago during wrestling season, because it not only made me less hungry, it made me lose the extra .1 or .2 lbs that I would spit out. Yes I know its gross, but for who I am as a person, you would've done the same. Every .1 or .2 lbs used to count, and I was thankful for chewing tobacco, until I finished wrestling and continued chewing.
There was so much waste with chew, every can just thrown away like almost all other manufactured physical items, making it meaningless to continuously consume and dispose. I still debate this contradiction, of why we as humans continuously buy items with our time, only to have them eventually wasted in a landfill that we are partially responsible for.
BUTTTTTTTT, back to the story: I started saving the chew can lids I had acquired, with the main majority of them being Copenhagen Wintergreen (my personal favorite tobacco type) with the intention of making art with them. I originally made the poster on foam board, which broke over the 4 years I have been making it, and finally decided on an aluminum back that has help up fairly well.
also missing a few pieces that fell off, will be fixed.
My final design will be framed and resemble a Copenhagen Wintergreen can, with the logo and border. I'll upload the final result when I finish, currently this is just the base. Can you guys let me know what you think though? Any feedback is positive feedback, I haven't got many opinions on it. Thank you guys for everything, I really appreciate it.
