While surfing election results this morning I came upon the above video. This is the kind of "find" that makes surfing the net worth the time. There is also the StumbleUpon site which I recommend.
He is daft? Don't know, don't think so, don't really care. I love his work. Painting on gum spit out and stepped on. How out of the box is that?

What do you think of his art?
Several hours later...Oops! Just have to add this video. It's from Roger Ebert's Club Newsletter.
WINNER: The Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Prize - Best Child-Produced Film or Video.
A Gum's Life (2009) Directed by Sophia Pino. Written by John Glouchevitch with Sophia & Jack. Cast: Mia Ray, Cheri Gaulke, Jamie Ember, Natasha Simchowitz, Aletheia Kim, and Cameron Robertson. FULL short. Synopsis: the gut-wrenching tale of a day in the life of a piece of gum. P.S. I don't know about you guys, but my empathy was fully engaged; I'll never again look at a stick of gum in quite the same way...
It was just meant to be, dadgumit!
