Top Ten Strange and Amazing Art Mediums

Ecstacy

Much to our dismay, this self-portrait does not actually use X, rather photographs of X. Nonetheless it makes quite the statement.

Toast

612 slices of bread toasted blond, brown, or burned to create shadows and highlights.

Dirty Car Windows

Far more creative than “Wash Me”, Wade uses a variety of brushes and erasers to remove the caked on dirt.

Sugar

Muniz’s wet fingertip can take credit for the shading you see here. The sugar is not adhered to the paper, so photographs were taken of the art from an overhead mounted camera.

Junk

Freeman brings new meaning to the term “second use” with his junk drawer art worthy of hanging above a mantle.

Dead and Live Pigs

This guy runs a pig farm, tattoos the live pigs, stuffs the dead ones then puts them in museums. P.S. He’s a vegetarian.

Guns and Bullets

Religious structures made out of weaponry = badass + deep.

Push Pins

These pieces are created using tens of thousands of push pins in only five colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black. Daigh won third place at Art Prize in 2010 for his work.

Blood of the Artist

The artist collects his own blood and freezes it in a mold of his own head. He continuously updates the piece as he ages to maintain an accurate depiction of himself as he ages. That’s dedication.
