Justin Gignac, a New York City artist, spends his days scouring the city for trash, which he then turns into art and sells. Here’s a link where you can buy garbage from the annual NYC St.Patrick’s Day Parade for the low price of only 50 euros (about $66).
The bums in Downtown Memphis, who spend the day digging through garbage cans anyway, may want to consider following Justin’s example. They could turn this idea into a career.
