A Japanese guy Koji Shimoi used countless aluminium can’s pull tabs/rings to make this awesome dragon sculpture, a piece of nice artwork. I heard some people are collecting the can’s pull tabs to make artificial limbs. Sounds like the can’s pull tabs are very useful, do you expect that?


I used pop tabs all the way from the tip of nose to the tip of tail except for whisker. I glued them together with ordinary epoxy or cold-weld compound type of epoxy. This guy’s about 14 inches long and 8 inches tall. By the way i want this to be called 神魂龍　(shinkonryuu) which inhabits the spirit of a person, where they obtain the necessary energy to live. When a person dies they move to a new spirit.

I have a similar spider sculpture, which was made from the copper wire but it was stolen, Damn!
