The quirky artist has immortalised celebrities in iconic portraits using nothing but toothpaste.The paintings of the stars - including Robin Williams, Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John - are crafted with various brands of the household item.Each artwork takes the artist up to 200 hours to create and can use as much as 30 tubes of toothpaste.Ramos, who lives in Orlando, Florida, said: 'It is very difficult to make these as the toothpaste becomes very sticky and dries quickly.'The smell can also be quite overwhelming, which was challenging during the long days of up to 10 hours painting.'Ramos, who is originally from Mexico and started painting aged just five, has produced a host of unusual artworks during his career including ones made from sweets and recycled cans.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
