A combination picture shows new and old miniature painting made on discarded chewing gum by artist Ben Wilson on the Millennium Bridge in London. Wilson has painted miniature works of art on discarded chewing gum in various parts of London and Europe over the past seven years in an effort to "turn something some people would find disgusting into something artistic and beautiful," he said. He chooses gum splatters with unusual shapes "to allow art to happen in a random way." Reuters/Finbarr O'Reilly expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
