emailThe Can Man Suits Up With Rubbish
Chicago artist/environmentalist, Ira Ono, also known as the Can Man, has created a wardrobe out of other’s people’s trash. Is he off his rocker or just eco-passionate? I vote, he is a little bit of both.
His Can Suit weighs about 35 lbs and holds about 500 cans. He also has a suit made of pennies, with matching penny shoes, a suit made of cork with a cork hat and one made out of plastic bottles. He has plans to make the Key Suit too, which of course would be a suit made out of keys.
When I watched the video below I wonder if the Can Man ever considered noise pollution. His suits make quite a racket as he moves about, especially the Can Suit. Still I see a lot of potential in his artwork.
Listen and see for yourself as the can man explains his reason behind his recycled suits. Personally, I like the penny suit the best and the bottle suit would be ideal for sparing with siblings.

They are all pretty cool!
Submitted on March 27th, 2008 by Lady BeeGreat find. They all look professionally made. Just the fact that he can take them off and put them back on without losing a can or a cork or a penny speaks well for him.
Can/Can't
Submitted on March 27th, 2008 by AnonymousJust because he "can" doesn't mean he should. He can't wear that and drive because of the open container law. I guess it is more attractive than the "piss sack" since he can use the can as a urinal. However, the outfit doesn't look very safe in case of an accident-- he'd be crushed.
