Vic, you are one tough cookie

Vic Muniz was our last class topic. And this guy's mediums are insanely brilliant. example:

anybody recognize this guy? no? get some art history on ya, for real. This is a famous painter from a completely different decade working on one of his abstradct pieces. Anyway, Vic Muniz made this picture of the famous picture of the famous artist... out of syrup. Look closer? see it? yeah... he's a tough cookie. I wouldn't mess with him. I've tried to draw pictures in salt before and have failed richly.
which brings me to my next part of Vic's work. The sugar children.

Those are both drawn in sugar. But look at the attention he pays to detail, the raised print of the girls vest, and the ripples in the boy's t-shirt. That's hard to do man!

But the rest of it is just garbage. Real talk.
