Ben Wilson - Artist

Ok, so this is kind of weird and gross...but I suppose you have to admire the ingenuity of artist Ben Wilson who paints discarded chewing gum left on the streets.

I for one would much sooner the roads were covered with bright pattern and colours rather than sticky grey spodges and so it seems would Ben who has painted chewing gum on roads all over London.

"I'm just going to keep going and see how far I get," said Mr Wilson, who started his quest at the Hadley end of High Street, Barnet. "I use acrylic paint and varnish, then I've got a little burner to dry it. I've done different pictures cups of tea, elephants, flowers I do requests as well. Often I just draw whatever takes me on that day."

Edible Pen - Product Design

Dave Hakkens has finally come up with a pen it is ok to chew on; this one is made entirely of candied sweets.

The type of sweets used have the same texture of candy bracelets and do not stick on anything or melt while in your hands. The pen contains 22 pieces and is filled with edible ink. The only thing which is not edible is the small point where you write with. When finished you throw it away or put in in a new re-fill pen.

I might do more work now I can combine it with snack time.
