ARTIST CREATES PORTRAITS FROM BANK NOTES AND COINS

An artist has put bags of old shredded money to an unusual use – by making portraits of politicians and celebrities out of them.

Evan Wondolowski used thousands of paper strips from shredded U.S. Federal Reserve notes to make a stand against greed with his new collection of images.

The ‘currency collage’ includes four portraits of President Barack Obama, rapper Biggie Smalls, political satirist Stephen Colbert and United States founding father Benjamin Franklin, all made out of money.

He said he bought shredded from eBay, to create the money-made portraits, which each take up to a month create.

Obama’s portrait is a different from the rest of the collection, and instead of cash it’s made out of United States Lincoln head pennies.
