Illustrating with Nail Polish

Ever consider doing a drawing with a set of these:

Well I did. And if you didn't know there are a bunch of great art pieces out there made by folks using all sorts of deliciously different and unconventional drawing materials like mascara, ketchup and fries, chocolate, vegemite on toast and even cheesepuffs!

Also don't forget my post on multi-talentedVik Muniz!

Well as I was lounging and playing in my altered book, I was perusing some fashion mags and I came across this computer generated advertisement for Intermix that really inspired me:

Sorry the pics aren't the best they were taken with my iphone as I was giving my camera a break.

Hope this inspires you to think outside the box and make your mark with ANYTHING!!!

ah dude! this looks so good! i can't believe that's all nail polish and ink, it reminds me of the whole optical blending thing with the pointillists, just in streaks.

Love it. I once did some prints with lipstick which was a great idea in theory but then got all over the place. Ha. Nonetheless, the color in this piece is fabulous and I love the concept. Bravo!
