Oddity Central
showcases young Nathan Wyburn, an artist who paints celebrity portraits
with Marmite and jam as his medium, on white toasted bread as his
canvas.
"The first time you lay eyes on Nathan Wyburn’s artworks, you don’t
know whether to frame it or eat it. But, even though his art mediums
might seem a bit weird, 20-year-old Nathan is an established artist,
with a worldwide online following. Uploaded videos of his work have been
watched by millions of people and made Nathan Wyburn somewhat of an
Internet celebrity.
Some of Nathan’s past projects include a portrait of Simon Cowell
made of 30 pieces of Marmite-covered toast, and Lady Gaga in sugar. His
latest works were commissioned by a new Costa Coffee shop, in
Towcester, and feature the portraits of international celebrities David
Beckham and Cheryl Cole,
painted on toast."
Is he totally cool or downright bonkers?
