Macaon SculptureWe love artists with a <em>can-do</em> attitude, and Japanese sculptor Macaon has brought that outlook to a whole new level. Macaon is taking old aluminum beer and soda cans, and transforming them into the icons of comic books and video games. Extremely detailed, each can is selected for color, and painstakingly bent into position with the skill of an origami master. Yet we wonder, how did the artist go through so many beer cans and still have such a steady hand?1
