With Q-Tips, Smoke And A Bottle This Artist Created This Stunning Painting

Tweet

Artist Jim Dingilian found a way to create sketch-like artwork on the 

inside of bottles. Just using candle smoke, and Q-tips as brushes.

Each recycled glass bottle serves as the canvas

for a new creation.

“The miniature scenes I create are of locations on the

 edge of suburbia which seem mysterious or even slightly

 menacing despite their commonplace nature,” says Dingilian.

“The bottles add to the implied narratives of transgression.

 When found by the sides of roads or in the weeds near the

 edges of parking lots, empty liquor bottles are artifacts

 of consumption, delight, or dread.”

How he manages such detail with a Q-tip is not entirely clear. 

I think it’s likely that he has an instrument with a smaller quill 

than a conventional Q-tip for adding intricate details.

Once a bottle is sealed, the smoke is set into place.
