ARTIST HONORS MICHELANGELO IN COFFEE BEANS

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (Wireless Flash) -- Monday (March 6) marks the 525th anniversary of Michelangelo's birth. In honor of the date, an artist who calls himself "Sidewalk Sam" will recreate Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" painting using coffee beans. Sidewalk Sam estimates he'll need 75,000 beans -- about 28 pounds -- to complete the piece for The Coffee Beanery coffee house in Birmingham, Michigan. After he finishes his coffee bean Michelangelo, Sidewalk Sam says he hopes to make a version of the "Dogs Playing Poker" painting using dog biscuits, leashes and dog poo.
