Meet Thomas Dambo, an extraordinary artist from Copenhagen, Denmark, who creates sculpture and street art from “trash”.
Thomas had started building stuffs since his early age, from treehouses, boxcars or other projects made old woods he found on the neighbourhood.
In 2005, Thomas was accepted in Kolding School, where he began to see great potential in unused stuffs people threw away.
His first major street art was called “Happy City Birds”, which is made of plywoods he found in a giant container threw out of a construction site.
The big idea behind Happy City Birds is to build bird houses, so they can enjoy the city too.
