After the discussion today about public art I said I was going to get a picture of a piece that was geet classy as owt. Well here you go - garden ornaments made from beer cans. And if Tracy Emin's tent was art then this labour of love is a masterpiece in my book.
I'm off to phone Charles Saatchi.

Funnily enough, me and the missus walked past there the other day and it was the first time she had seen it.
He was in the Chronicle a few months ago, but he only had the well then, and he said he drank 8 cans of Guinness every day and it was a useful way of disposing of his empty tinnies.
8 Fscking cans!!!
Every day!!!
Still, at least he is recycling his rubbish to make modern art.
I wonder how much the helix-thingymajig would have cost in raw materials never building the bugger.
Why did the council scrap the idea?
Probably because it was some outrageous amount of money and they'd just put the council tax up by some extortionate amount again and they would have got hassled to death. That was in the Chronicle too.
I remember seeing it in the Chronicle at the time and I think he/she had only one piece. Now there's 3!
I reckon it's way more than 8 cans a day! So is that George Best's house then? ;)
If he is admitting to drinking 8 a day how many does he really drink? 12? 16?
Ah Byker, is that what you are taking to Hanoi?
This is *my* country - we do things differently there.
Just think BS if you'd started one of these yourself ages ago you could have weighed it in now at Shepherd's and the proceeds might have funded your trip. :)
Well this piece made me go 'wow' at his obvious talent for putting a crate of Guinness away every day. Does that count?
Fancy pouring scorn on my latest project you twunt!
I'm off to make a 200 ft wide mot out of smeg.
It will be jointly funded by N & S Tyneside councils as it is going to be the decorative entrance to the 2nd Tyne Tunnel.
