New Delhi, Feb 11 (IANS) Social media users heaped praise on an artist who decided to make something attractive out of the flattened chewing gum. The journey started a decade ago when the Englishman discovered that the Britain’s pavements are covered in ugly patches of the unsightly white blobs.

Another wrote, “Super inspired by all of your work and love everything you do!! Got to visit London twice and was always on the look out for your stuff!! Keep up the hard work and I hope you reach your goal!”
A post read, “Well done to you Ben, love your work.”
