These unusual portraits were created using ice cream and art supplies. Artist 'Honey' is responsible for these melting mint-chip paintings. She creates art using food and has also done a series where she places portraits on bananas.
In these tasty paintings, Honey creates women's faces and portrays them eating a big scoop, which she presumably adds in at the end. These fantastic frozen treat-infused portraits act as inspiration for viewers to go and grab a scoop or two. The artist uses different kinds of ice cream, so some of her portraits are green while others are brown.
These sticky paintings encourage people to play with their food and prove that art can be found in anything. Personally I would rather eat ice cream than paint with it, but to each their own.
