Chinese Master Of Droolism

Enjoy art but fed up with those hard-to-clean brushes? Chinese businessman Wang Yide has a way around the hassle: He paints art with his tongue. Wang recently gave a demonstration for journalists from a newspaper - he tongue-painted pictures of a lotus flower and a laughing Buddha. "He was somewhat embarrassed when he slurped and drooled ink during his painting," the News Agency said. Wang, who is about 50 years old, said he learned the skill from the technique's inventor, Huang Ernan, who died last year. The report said Wang warned the uninitiated against trying the art without proper guidance, saying inks and pigments could be poisonous. It didn't say, however, how he avoided poisoning himself.
