Cliff Maynard Roach Paper Art..

Cliff Maynard of Pittsburgh has blazed a unique trail on the stoner art scene. The 37-year-old creates amazing mosaics using the humble medium of used roach papers from smoked joints.

Amazingly, this is just something Cliff does in his spare time. He's one of Pittsburgh's finest tattoo artists at his day job. But it's his roach paper Chronic Art that has captured the imagination of folks nationwide.


As a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Cliff had the opportunity to take inspiration from the great mosaics of the past. "I was studying mosaics in school," Maynard remembers. "I just remember sort of making this connection in my head between the tiles and roach papers."..








a freind of mine meet this dude.. Actually my freind works in a store where they sell magazine and this guy said his art work was in high times..

 

he must save lots of roaches

 

I save lots of bugs, but not so talented..

 

That's fuckin amazing, man. It would be a shame to do so, but you could smoke his art and get high from the resin.

 

... there was a reply on another site that said "i bet them pictures stink"

 

I want one

 

me too, or see one in person to get a close look at it at the very least.

 

I wonder how much something like that would sell for.

 

Depends on what the person was gonna do with the work.

 

i dont think he would want to sell them he could get arrested for trafficking

 

I was wondering that as well. Because isn't that technically paraphernalia?

He could get arrested just for having them.

Still though....I'm sure some crazy pothead would pay good money for those.

 

there is a culture shift in pgh, as it tries to hold on to young people..

 

He's selling those for pretty cheap.

 

Those are really neat.. even more neat that he's from Pittsburgh!
