Norwegian dino told me is beyond just behind his unusual method one of his greatest gunpowder experiments to date is on display in this office building. It shows his hometown note that it took him 3 kilograms of gunpowder and a week to make. And you can have the small grains which are completely small useless autonomous Little Things together around but when you set fire to them in places up it lights up the whole room with heat in flames so its always very fun. He uses nail clippers to spread the small grains across his canvas the climate in the room is crucial when he works even the slightest breeze could ruin everything. All the gunpowder wont start. Even the way the pellets are arranged makes a big difference. They need to be placed. So. That the grains would catch fire from there so they have a Chain Reaction with fire which burns across the whole. Into the canvas which makes the painting appear.

Fall off to be very very careful and hes found another way to make out on the streets of his hometown using water repellent paint he transformed sidewalks into images for example of the beatles characters from the belgian comic a lucky luke takes is a little water. So. Repellent so its lighter and this is how you create brains when you force. Likes to experiment with glow in the dark paint only on the ultraviolet light does this picture show a 2nd with a complimentary motif. Ferma chromic pigments that change color when exposed to heat are yet another method he uses to combine overlapping images like here with nikola tesla the electric magician.
