He carefully paints each piece of chewing gum with tiny brushes and bright colors, creating a miniature masterpiece that is both fun and psychedelic. This form of street art verges on reverse graffiti; the art of turning the city’s dirt into something attractive.

Kronenwald’s celebrity fan art portraits include Madonna, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Simpson.
Recycling bubble gum and chewing gum as art is thought of as being a “green” or “eco-friendly” practice, because the gum isn’t thrown away after being chewed.
