Artist Jason Clay Lewis has a bold statement to make, and will soon be making headlines with his often provocative artworks. He has been instrumental in green art, using garbage and environmental disasters to convey a strong message in a beautiful, unusual and artistic fashion.

Jason Clay Lewis has been quoted as saying: “I strive to question perceived beauty, passion, life, death, and creation. I have an urgent conviction that art is a passionate and essential affair, as if a matter of life and death, where one senses the only response to death is art.”

As one can see above (and below), he sees art even in D-Con rat poison wrapping. But, don’t dismiss him as sacrilegious, crazy or not in tune to the times. He is an environmental savior, a modern tree-hugger savant and loves the earth.

Clay Lewis even uses ammunition - bullets to be precise - as his canvas. The following piece of art is called "Zapruder Memento: The asassination of John F. Kennedy".
