Artworks Made From Seriously Weird Materials

Marble, oil paint, granite, graphite and all those other classic art materials are so outdated. If you want to make a splash in the art world these days, you’d better turn away from the art store and instead try jumping into a dumpster or even your own bathroom. Here are some of the weirdest materials you’ve ever seen incorporated into art.

If one artist has truly mastered the skill of working with non-traditional materials above all others, it’s certainly Jason Mecier who has made amazing portraits from all variety of materials, including pills, make up, pasta, jellybeans, yarn, pencils –even a Sasquatch from Jack Links Beef Jerky. Even if you aren’t a big fan of his style, it’s still hard to deny his talent. After all, who else could make Marilyn Manson out of yarn, Jerry Seinfeld from  breakfast cereal and Amy Winehouse out of pills?

Those of us old enough to remember using cassette tapes also remember what happened when they broke –a spool of thin magnetic tape would inevitably escape and cascade over everything in the immediate area, somehow making an even bigger mess as you tried to clean it up. I doubt many of us miss that experience, but if you had the ability to capture and master the tape, things might be different, which is precisely why it is so easy to love artist Erika Iris Simmons’ exquisite “Ghost in the Machine” series, made exclusively from broken cassettes. The works might not make you nostalgic for the old times, but they’ll certainly make you appreciate the skill that went into Simmons’ amazing portraits.

What better way to send a message about the dangers facing ocean life than to make artwork from one of sea creature’s greatest foes –the plastic shopping bag? Artist Helle Jorgensen makes yarn from these bags and then crochets gorgeous coral reefs and other sea creatures showing just what we might lose if we continue in our wasteful ways.

He's Got A Lot On His Mind

There are those who think that only fuzzy critters can be cute. To those prejudiced persons, I'd just like to ask you to look this frog in his eyes and try to tell him he isn't cute. If you're able to do that, you're not only wrong about cuteness, you're also a cruel monster.
