Going "Green" is all the fad these days hell even I often paint on found wooden panels. However while the bandwagon of artist turning "Trash" into art is currently vast it is by no means new. John Chamberlain has been turning trash into art for over 50 years. John has yet to slow now into his eighties he still creates awe-inspiring sculptures from discarded items. John has a soft spot in his heart for junk cars using metal panels and parts to create magnificent sculptures from waste. While you may not enjoy John's work one should respect what John has brought to the table and is unflinching work ethic.
