foodings; not paintings

This is a peice I did in artmaking but it gets its own post because its still an idea in progress.

[apologies for the glossiness, i used a wash of rasberry vinagret when it was done]
This peice was done off the premise of using no paints whatsoever. Specifically because one of the reasons I don't like painting is because it leaves the artist totally dependent on the paint-companies, who can then charge whatever they want. I think thats a bad way to make art, hence why i often like using found objects or reoppropriating object in the way they weren't intended.
>This peice was made using:
Brown- Soy Sauce- microwaved to get the water out, then used as water color
Blue- toilet bowl blue-water-maker as water color, toothpaste
Yellow- mustard
Red- Ketchup, Hotsauce, M&M
Green- M&Ms, mustard + toiletstuff
some are combinations of the above.
Below are some pictures of my work-station when making this- I like it because the pallet is unusual for painting.. because there is no paint.
