Canadian artist Jason Kronenwald is responsible for a very unusual piece of art that features Sarah Michelle Gellar. There is no paint involved, instead the artist chose to do a picture of Gellar using only chewed chewing gum.
A spokesperson for Kronenwald's collection said, "No paint or dye is used. The colour is inherent to the gum - the mixing of colour takes place inside the mouth during chewing using an endless variety of companies."
Although Kronenwald does not chew the gum himself, he does have a dedicated team for the job. Having munched on various flavours and brands, the team have said they prefer the texture of Trident but they have been known to chew on Bubble Tape as well.
The Toronto based artist has done 10 portraits all together which include singer Britney Spears, icon Brigitte Bardot and tennis beauty Anna Kournikova, with each portrait selling for $2,000.
