Is the title relevant? I hope that something to eat is relevant? cooked? fruit? vegetable? sweet? bread? a milk product? meat? or something that usually is not eaten? Number of 'them' relevant? if yes: 1? 2? .. infinity? Are they different? several objects of the same kind? Is 'and' in the statement relevant? Did something happen before? is the statement a sort of conclusion? 'I'=you, Beccaann? human? female? adult? Place relevant? time relevant? How many characters are involved: 1? 2? .. infinity? | ||

The sweets: power bars? chocolate bars? something else involving chocolate? jelly bears? crisps? toffees? cookies? ice cream? Do they come in different flavours? Does the other person do something else with the sweets? Does he/she eat them in a very specific way ("first, you have to eat all the chocolate covering, then the caramel, and then enjoy the cookie")? | ||

His artwork is a painting? Looking at his artwork would you notice that he uses m&ms? Does he use the m&ms only in the process of making his artwork? Does he use only a part of the m&ms say the colored covering? Is the place were he does this relevant? His reasons: He wants to do something new? He has no better materials? There is a relation to the m&m company? | ||

Can you see the writing 'm&m' in white on the painting? relevant? Does he use the colored coating as paint in the picture? does he melt the coating? Is he in a town? in the country? somewhere isolated? relevant? Is he in a building? outside? Is he in a situation where he has no (or not enough) paint? where he has lots of m&ms? Are the typical m&m colors (yellow, green, blue, red and brown as far as I know) relevant? | ||

Because of Johnson's isolation, his only "brush" is made from strands of his own hair; his "canvases" consist of blank postcards; and his medium is colors from melted M&M candies. Nonetheless, at least six of the paintings, which a Times reporter called "powerful," have sold for $500 each. [New York Times, 7-21-06] |
