Everything Here’s Trash: Honey Boo Boo Child Portrait

Six-year-old Internet and reality television sensation Alana Thompson is better known to her fans as Honey Boo Boo. Her and her family’s antics have captivated audiences in much the same way as a train wreck captivates bystanders. Folks just can’t look away. Seeing the potential here, artist Jason Mecier has made a portrait of the young star. The catch? It’s made entirely out of trash.

Here are a few highlights of the things Mecier used in the portrait, presented without further comment:

Highlights include two cans of hair spray, three tiaras, make-up, mascara, fake eyelashes, coupons, sketti, butter, ten cheese balls, two Red Bulls, one Mountain Dew, a McDonald’s chicken nugget, a pink Snuggy box, an empty toilet paper roll, one cabbage patch doll and a jar of Pigs Feet. No roadkill was injured during the making of this portrait!

There’s really nothing left to say.
