To most people, using bacteria to paint unique pieces of artwork is verging on the strange side. But, call us geeks or weirdos, we love these drawings created with living microorganisms! The jelly-like solid agar used in laboratories to grow bacteria and fungi has played the role of the canvas for these paintings. Niall, the scientist/artist behind the images, used different species of environmental microorganisms to get the different colors required for the images.
There are other Agar Art images available in the Superbug shop, including a number of Xmas products, such as cards and the tree ornament and keepsake box shown below.
