is it safe to eat paint?

atsonicpark · 11.11.2009, 03:04 AM

I want to make paintings where I eat paint and vomit it up.

atsonicpark · 11.11.2009, 03:21 AM

haha thanks.

Yeah, I know not all paint is safe, I guess I was just asking for what kinds of paint I can eat to do this, or if it's been done before.

You're right, kid's paint is probably really safe.

I want to do this, blood paintings, and semen paintings. I'm doing a screening for all my films in a theater in March 2010 and I'm planning on selling my paintings there too. I'll make sure and post whatever I come up with.

those are gonna smell nice.

fucking genius idea though. you should lacquer them after your throwup dries.

i almost took a swig from a bottle of linseed oil the other day. i was drinking bottled water while painting... i was so absorbed in what i was doing i brought the bottle to my lips before realizing... linseed oil smells good (i think) but it's pretty nasty on your lips...

I wouldn't ingest anything from an art supplies store. Your safest bet would be making your own food based dyes and using those. Cabbage/beetroot, carrot, hmm whats green.. you get the idea..

FreshChops · 11.11.2009, 04:31 AM

see, you want to only eat the old paint, the kind chipping and pealing off of window seals. The older, the more time for the flavor of the lead inside to mature. mmmmmmm, lead

as far as your idea..... they will all turn out looking like watercolor paintings?

atsonicpark · 11.11.2009, 04:32 AM

perhaps.

I won't actually "paint" with them, just puke on the canvas and let it dry. I like the idea of it being sorta random.

phoenix · 11.11.2009, 04:37 AM

For colourfastness you might want to photograph and make prints ? Anything like that would have minimal longevity unless you spent a lot of time looking at how to er, preserve what is left on the canvas.

phoenix · 11.11.2009, 04:38 AM

I think its gross btw but just trying to help!!

Genteel Death · 11.11.2009, 04:39 AM

Of course it is. What a stupid question.

Damien Hirst Shoots Out Projectile Paint Vomit and Calls It a Artistic Jeans Line

Here’s a preview of Damien Hirst’s newest denim line for Levis. The 12 piece collection will include jeans for $230 and t-shirts for $83.
Three limited edition jeans paint blasted by senior petrified shark himself will cost $23,040.
You can make the jeans yourself by wearing a pair of $50 Levi’s out for a day of paintballing.

Student Says Vomiting on Painting Was an Artistic Act

By ANTHONY DePALMA

Published: Wednesday, December 4, 1996

When a museumgoer vomited on a Mondrian masterwork at the Museum of Modern Art in New York last month, museum officials called it ''an unfortunate incident'' and said the young man involved had apparently not done anything deliberate to harm the painting.

But now the man, a 22-year-old Toronto art student, has acknowledged that he intentionally defaced the painting, ''Composition in Red, White and Blue,'' in what he contended was an artistic statement about ''oppressively trite and painfully banal'' art.

hahah awesome, i fucking hate mondrian. de stijl is the worst cop out excuse for art. i think really i just hate primary colors though.

fuck those jeans btw. i can make those in 5 minutes plus theyd look way doper if i did it. wtf is that color in there, PEACH?? NO ONE LIKES PEACH.

Rob Instigator · 11.11.2009, 09:55 AM

it's been done.

MANY times.

but if you wanna go ahead, tempera paint would be good, but there is no way to know how the paint binder will react to the hydrochloic acid n your stomach, not to mention the forced ingestion, and the forced vomiting could hurt you bad.

remember, the process is pointless if that is the whole of the artwork.

atsonicpark · 11.11.2009, 09:59 AM

Okay.

But, if it looks cool, I don't really care about the process or any other aesthetic quality.
