What would be considered a mess by most is a niche form of art on Chinese social media. While most artists would use an array of oil paints to create a photographic portrait of someone, one artist in China has instead turned to mirrors and toothpaste.

The toothpaste-painter, named Xiong Qingzhen, has used his bathroom mirror to generate over 20,000 views of his videos on Chinese social media, according to various online news outlets.
