My Dog Sighs, a talented street artist from England, made his first drawing when he was 7 years old. Since then everyone knew him as a child who can draw, and this was enough to set him on a journey to become an artist. Later, he left his job at a primary school where he worked as a teacher, decided to become a professional and started painting everything he thought the galleries would like.
But the reality was not that easy – after visiting every gallery within a 200 mile radius and receiving "no" from all of them, he lost his dream for a while. Until one day Banksy‘s stencilled Rat, sprayed on a wall in London, inspired him to try this again, but with a different approach. This is when he started to drop his paintings in the streets for someone to find, and not giving up led him to becoming one of the most respected street artists in the UK.
Since the canvases aren‘t that cheap, My Dog Sighs started using old, already useless objects to create his art. He then painted an old can, turning it into something worth to find, and it all began. It was a reflection of his own journey – lost, then found, given a new lease of life and let go travel its own journey. Scroll down to see them for yourself!

I would love to stumble upon this on a walk through a busy street! And to thank the artist!
she makes me feel like i better not do again whatever I did to have her look at me this way. maybe i littered
Nice work! It might freak me out a little to see some of these faces staring at me from the bottom of a can.
Art Galleries don't know what art is... they think a splatter of paint is talent... Anyone can splatter paint on a canvas and call it art
Sorry it posted twice and I don't know why
