If you are not following me on Twitter or Pinterest you are missing some interesting extras that may not make it to the blog. While I can include Twitter updates on this page (see the right column), pins to Pinterest are a little more elusive unless I remember to click the box to post the pin to Twitter.
My newest pins on Pinterest came from the U.K.’s Daily Mail Online from a story about Evan Wondolowski, an artist who uses currency and coins to make portraits of politicians and celebrities. These portraits are made using shredded Federal Reserve Notes on newspaper. He make a portrait of President Obama using Lincoln Cents including 1943 Steel Cents.
Wondolowski is the Creative Director and co-owner of Mozaiks, and artist-based clothing company. His art can be see at his website The Art of E and usually depicts images of greed and politics.
Below are the images from the Daily Mail Online article. If you want to see the full images, visit Wondolowski’s online gallery.
