Modern Day Michelangelo Paints Ceilings With BIC Lighter

Most people only ever use a lighter for smoking cigarettes. Some enterprising souls find other uses. But for Parisian artist Oliver Kosta-Théfaine, the BIC lighter is his paint and the ceiling is his canvas.

Kosta-Théfaine, armed only with patience and a lighter, burns intricate patterns into ceilings for his art.

So next time you light up a cigarette, think about all of the nobler aims you could pursue with that BIC. And next time you light up a Marilyn Monroe cigarette, revisit this thread and contemplate how totally righteous this dude is. [Oliver Kosta-Théfaine via MAKE]
