The Artist who paints with bugs

He is the artist who paints without putting brush to canvas.
Instead, Steven Kutcher uses moths, beetles, spiders, flies, honey bees, butterflies, grasshoppers - and even Hissing Cockroaches from Madagascar.

He dips the insects in paint, places them on a blank canvas and lets their movement create a string of colourful paintings.

Mr Kutcher, 63, uses insects as living paintbrushes, guiding them by using their reaction to light or simply letting them wriggle at will.

He said: "I'll take a bug in my hand and, leg by leg, load the paint on to each leg. Then I put them on to the canvas and off they go, leaving a tiny trail of coloured footprints in their wake.

"I can switch colours and even insects to create the effect I am looking for.

"If a bug is sensitive to light, I can influence its movement on the canvas by controlling the lighting.

"Insects have different footprints and behaviours so I use both my entomological and artistic knowledge to create fine works of art."

Woman Has Had Hiccups For Last 20 Years

A woman claims to have had the hiccups for the last 20 years.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV - A Berkeley Springs woman has been hiccuping her way through life. For most people, hiccups are a pesky result of a meal eaten too fast, or too many drinks at the bar. However, for 80-year-old Alice Hobday, hiccups have been a constant ailment for the last 20-years.

"Yeah, a continuous thing; I get them everyday," said Alice Hobday, who still has hiccups after 20 years.

"She'll get like a 5-10 minute break, and then they're back again," said Vanessa Ashcraft, Alice's daughter.

Alice said she has no idea where her hiccups came from, and though they aren't really painful, after more than 15 unsuccessful doctor visits, they are getting to be a bit of a bother.
