Using guns to make art

Alabama-based artist Walton Creel creates images, which resemble the print-outs from the old dot-matrix printers, using bullet holes.

“Whatever view a person already holds on guns is the view they project onto me. If they love guns and think gun ownership is a God-given right, then they see my work as reinforcement of that view. If they think guns should be banned, they see my work as an ironic protest.”

    That’s actually pretty cool and requires more patience than I could likely muster.
