If I Had a Portrait Made of my own Trash...


... It would be mainly comprised of hand and feet warmer wrappers at this time of year. It's so cold outside!

Seriously, though, it's a fun question to ponder, and even more fun because apparently celebrities get portraits made from their own trash all the time! And not even just by their stalkers!

Jason Meceir, a San Fran based artist, makes portraits of celebrities from the trash that they send him to use. The image I have here is of his portrait of Tina Fey, and it's super awesome! Look at all the cool junk in there! It makes Tina Fey seem even more awesome to see what trash she wanted this guy to use in her portrait. I think my favorite part is that she has three separate parts of a hair dryer in there. I understand, Tina, I'm constantly breaking my hair dryer, too. They are complicated pieces of machinery, not meant to be wielded by the hands of humankind.

So, what would be in my portrait? Mainly Dallas Morning News comic strips, movie ticket stubs, a bunch of those little UCB tickets, pieces of broken hair dryers, dental floss (for my hair in the portrait!), hair (gross!), ChapStick Jazzberry Glitter tubes, mascara, tinfoil (from all the cookies we bake), warped tupperware (from when we put the cookie-holding devices in the dishwasher like you're not supposed to), Natural History Museum stubs, and probably some knick-knack patty-skunk, give-a-dog-a-bone's.

What about you guys? What would be in your trash portrait?
