p.1 #1 · #149: The Spirit of Diet Coke





6 hours... 5 cans... 2 tea light candles... and 4 sticks of insense later - I finally got the look I was going for.

The lettering was carved out of the can with my dremel tool.

Minor photoshop adjustments.

Thanks for Looking...

Dave

*GHNK*

That was me almost choking on the mouthful of soda I had when I opened this thread. Man! This is just beyond cool!! I am now going to go raid my darling husband's garage for his Dremel gear and find something to chop up. Well, maybe not tonight, it is almost 1am as I'm writing this.

This image is fantastic as it stands on its own, and also for generating new inspirations. Your time was very well spent Dave!

Those aren't flames... it's the smoke from the incense sticks I was burning inside the can. No Photoshop effects were used.

The concept is nice, however try to stay away from using brand names, this gives a time stamp to your art, which takes away from the work. And even more using a certain type of product removes even more room from the timestamp. Using a regular coke can probably wouldn't have been too bad, however even that is pushin it.
