Candy Tongue Painting Experiment #1

This idea comes from Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith.

Candy: Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper

In box: Red, Orange, Green, Purple, Yellow.

It took me a little while to figure out why I couldn’t get the color to show up on the page. I discovered that you can’t suck on the candy for more then a few seconds before you put your tongue on the paper. That is when the color pigment is the strongest. Don’t get lost in the flavor ;)

I’d like my next one to be with different types of candy mixed together so I can play with texture and different color shades/levels of brightness etc. And maybe instead of just pressing my tongue onto the page actually making a recognizable image using this method <3

and for fun

My tongue feels really fucking weirdnow, and the front of my head aches a little.

Another downside to painting with large amounts of sugar ;) I did however not eat one friggin full piece.

I spit them out into this baggiewhen they lost color.

See my pathetic little used, whore candy:

Ah hum

Leaving Facebook:

The great digital media death from an artist networking standpoint:

Thoughts?


are we locked into our facebook accounts due to our creative networking/careers?

Is this a negative thing? What would the negative aspect be/what would the positives be?

Is facebook the end all be all of networking at this point in time?

do people care about you or pay attention if you are not on facebook?

should said artist care of the latter?

Share your thoughts.

It would be much appreciated.

The Centro Cultural de España in Lima.

Boobies!!! A whole wall of them. The piece is titled Muro, 2009 by Raquel Paiewonsky. (Photos by C-M.)

"While my mission on this trip to Lima has been to eat and to eat again, I have managed to sneak in a few visits to art galleries between degustaciones. The best show thus far has been an exhibit of contemporary Dominican art that I happened to catch at the Centro Cultural de España on the Plaza Washington, near downtown.


The show, Mover la roca (Move the Rock), features new works by the D.R. arts collective Quintapata, whose members are Tony Capellán, Pascal Meccariello, Raquel Paiewonsky, Jorge Pineda and Belkis Ramírez. Overall, a highly interesting show. And way better than the couch art I’ve been admiring at many of the city’s commercial art galleries."

The photo above was taken by Eugene Richards. Sgt. José Pequeño suffered a devastating brain injury from a grenade tossed into his Humvee in March 2006.

“In his mother’s arms, I hardly recall a more visceral sensation of the senselessness of the Iraq campaign. Given the angle, Pequeno’s brain injury draws an unavoidable analogy between war and the capacity for thought. Ultimately, there is no rationalizing or comparing one devastating form of injury with another. In Sgt. Pequeno’s case, however, the war has literally caused him to lose his mind.”
