Gum Wrapper Obama

Filed under: Local Interest — Tags: , , — Geoff Kelly @ 5:10 pm

Local artist Arseno stopped by the office today with this portrait of Barack Obama made entirely of gum wrappers. (”About $40 worth,” he told us.) If you want to see the real thing, it’ll be hanging in the window at 2309 Elmwood Avenue, just north of Kenmore, where he’s opening a shop called Art Lover’s Oasis at the end of February.
