<p><b> by Anthony Falco</b></p><p>This art is going up in smoke, but don’t worry: that’s a good thing!<p>An Egyptian artist is creating portraits with gunpowder and tobacco to make a statement about the dangers of smoking. The 23-year-old artist breaks the cigarettes in half and pours the tobacco on a sheet of paper. Then, he sprinkles some gunpowder on top, sets the material on fire, and voila! The portrait is burned into the paper.</p><p>He originally tried to use coffee grounds, salt and sand, but nothing worked as well as tobacco.</p><p>Smoke if you got ’em.</p></p><br /> <p>The post Tobacco And Gunpowder Make This Egyptian Artist’s Portraits</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
