I ‘Pay’ Ants In Sugar To Help Me Finish My Animal Paintings (12 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

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.
