Gum Blondes Edit
Jason Kronenwald’s Chewed Portraits Made of Gum


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



Jason Kronenwald, based in Toronto, has a strange choice of materials for his artwork- chewing gum.  Each Gum Blonde is made from 100% chewed gum and it’s placed on a plywood backing. No paint or dye is used. The colours are mixed in the mouth using a variety of colours and flavours. And get this Jason prefers not to chew the gum himself so he has a dedicated team to look after that part of the process.  (Gush Magazine)

Excellent. Too bad it will fade pretty quickly, I think.

Sorry boys, but this is not so original as it seems. Here in Buenos Aires, the renowed Grupo Mondongo has been working with incredible materials such as Oreos, Ham and cheese, glass pebbles and so on. You should check out their work. BTW prince of spain has a portrait done by Mondongo Here's a LINK.
