It ain’t easy breaking into the art scene in India, unless of course you have a really good gimmick, which, after some soul searching, art teacher Ani K discovered. But with painters already using their nostrils, he had to come up with something a little more radical, “I always go for something different. So first I tried to paint with nose but noticed that few are already doing it so I thought of giving my tongue a try and succeeded. Many newspapers reported it and I got a good response. Then I made it a regular practice.” The artist, who uses his tongue as a paintbrush, is able to finish paintings in 3-4 days that include images of Mahatma Gandhi and Jesus Christ.
