Artist Leandro Granato creates his works by snorting up paint and squirting it out of his eyes.

He has to weep out up to a pint and a half (800ml) of watercolours to make each one of his creations. Buyers are so impressed with his unusual technique that they are prepared to pay an eye-watering £1,500 to own one.

‘Ever since I was a kid I knew I had a special connection between my eye and my nose,’ explained the 27-year-old, who comes from Buenos Aires.

1. Pretty weird

but creative. The painting shown in the article doesn't look bad. I suppose some artist could try getting diarrhea along with consuming different colored food dyes and try that on a canvas. Long ago when I was in college in the 1970s I knew a guy studying art who went on the freeway and tossed little packets of colors out the driver's window into the middle of the empty lane to the left near an overpass. He'd make many passes on that section of freeway at the same speed until he'd finished his piece. He later went up on the overpass at the crack of dawn to photograph his work.
