An interactive guide to creating art out of
anything—from peanut butter to matchsticks.
Commercial artist and YouTube sensation Phil Hansen creates art out
of everyday objects. Now he shares his wildly creative approach by
asking, “Who needs paint when you have a banana—or some paper
clips, a cup of coffee, blades of grass, or toothpicks?” With illustrations
and instructions throughout, this engaging, inspiring, and entertaining
handbook/manifesto takes readers inside the mind of a groundbreaking
artist—and encourages us all to create, reimagine, and rediscover the joy
of making something out of (almost) anything.
