Budding artist showcases huge set of unique pieces using thousands of pieces of scratchcards

A talented artistic teenager has created hundreds of pieces of unique artwork - using thousands of discarded and recycled SCRATCHCARDS.

Budding artist James Thomas, 17, has spent hundreds of hours meticulously collecting specific coloured scratchcards to create the incredible pieces.

James, who was diagnosed with autism aged three, has amassed a huge collection of the cards in an array of colours - which he stores in his kitchen where he creates the work.
