These made me smile. I'm a Piece of Garbage by Dirty Bandits is a project which involved finding abandoned everyday items and writing phrases on them, which play on insecurities and questions of self-worth. The artists have managed to turn a sorry tale into something quite humorous and strangely uplifting, simply by using traditional sign painting techniques and vibrant colours.

Those unwanted items sure have personality, and a new lease of life! See more from this project here.
First seen on Swiss Miss.

    You have to be ultra creative to invent this.
