For geeks, there are many ways to profess their loyalty and love for various designs, and one really creative yet spectacular way is through Canstruction. It is simply the method of using various canned goods to build cool looking sculptures.
Here we gathered 35 various Canned sculptures that have the geeky theme in mind. Some may be better than others, but in the end, the Geek is the true winner of seeing such art come to life. For further information on each piece, check the artist’s portfolios provided as image sources.
Super Mario Cans
Being one of the most popular video game characters of all time, Mario has been resurrected in these few impressions as the bold hero we know so well. As can be seen, few of the images are not necessarily of cans but are large Mario Soda Displays (and Donkey Kong) which are too good to ignore. Furthermore, the famous Piranha plant was also canned.

Pacman in a Can
Besides Mario, Pacman is the other king of popularity in video games, and these various Pacman canned sculptures represent great effort in making Pacman as real as possible.

They Canned Kenny!
This may be a better end to good old Kenny that kind of makes him into a martyr and not a dead character.

Wall-E
Instead of cleaning up the universe, Wall-E is now being put together using old cans and finally receives the credit he deserves. Even Eve makes her appearance.

Rubik’s Can
It may make it really difficult to solve, but the Rubik’s Cube canned art is just as cool and shows how popular it still is…to have a sculpture made of it.
