]]> I love art. I used to be an artist before I was a writer…I still love to look at really good paintings, which for me do not include odd women with 3 breasts shaped like rocketships, mmmkay?  I am an art prude. I like Rembrandt, Dali (o.k.so he was a little unique), Norman Rockwell, Peter Max, and DaVinci. There are more but those are the primary…oh..and let’s not forget my best friend from childhood and forever blood brother, Chris Willett who is almost as good of an artist as I am. :P   …(in case you did not recognize it..that was  joke)

Anyway…

Check this out:

The Mona Lisa! A really BIG version…Can you guess what it is made of?

Give up? Check out ArtStyle for the answer.

]]>  coffee cuo

Yep..it has finally happened.  Someone has found a use for instant coffee.

All of those years when you wondered why in the world Taster’s Choice even existed, all of those stale jars of Folger’s instant….well..now you know.  Everything has a purpose…even instant coffee…

Sunshine Plata, a Filipino artist is using instant coffee as a painting medium.   She used to use oils but since they are so expensive she looked around for something that was more available….instant coffee!

So, now she created paintings with instant coffee and sells them for $400.00 (and up) USD.

You should really take a look at her work.  They are fascinating, especially when you take into consideration that she is using instant coffee.

She says that she doesn’t drink coffee, she prefers tea.

I got rid of that nasty Dunkin Donuts stuff too soon!
