Potato-Greg

This semester at NCC (Northampton Community College), Iam taking an art class. I take any and all chances to take an art class of any sorts. This class is "Art and Visual Thinking" and offers a variety of projects that using a range of art supplies. Today at our second day of class, we made veggie people. Our project was to create a profile of a person using fruits and veggies that we brought from home. I created this guy from 2 red potatos, 2 peppercorns, and a few toothpicks.

On closser inspection, I noticed that he looked just like my older brother Greg, so I named him Potato-Greg. The only downside to creating art from food, is when it spoils, thank God for digital cameras, so Potato-Greg can live on.
