I ‘Pay’ Ants In Sugar To Help Me Finish My Animal Paintings (12 Pics)
Ants are really interesting and fascinating insects.
Watch the fun I have creating with ants. Leaving tiny amounts of sugar on a piece of paper to lure them into my drawings. It gets tricky because they move around quickly and I have to record as fast as I can.
It takes numerous attempts. Two of them are failed, but it will improve if I do it again.
I am still learning by reading more about photography, HD pictures, and inspecting ants from up close as they are busy with their own tiny lives.

Excuse me, but are they glued on the floor qhen they pass on the drawing? What's the substance that you use?

I tried that once and ended up having to pay a fortune in Social Security benefits and FICA. And the queen sued me for maternity leave.

I initially thought that the ants drew those paintings haha XD The problems when English is not your native language... XD

This is a really odd idea but I do love the "it is only just this moment because the ants will soon be gone"-aspect of it. I like the bear with his antsy teddy. Nice show of interspecies interaction, with no harm being done.

Ants are not enhancing the art. They just add a bizarre and distasteful aspect to mediocre art. Move on.

There needs to be a line drawn on what is considered art. I’m sorry but this is total garbage.
