So - it is time for Eric to be resurrected from the golden layer of brass that has covered his portrait these last few days. But how to go about it? I wonder. And then it crosses my mind: junk food! All over the world students get by on junk food - and Eric is no exception. Not only is he a student - he is an American student! And from what I can tell from the photos I got from Kristian and Jacob, junk food is as much part of his everyday diet as it is of theirs.

I quickly get in the car, and drive down to the local supermarket to pick up some truly American junk food. Even though I live in the countryside in one of the remotest parts of Denmark, I do not have any trouble finding it. Now, all I got to do is stick it to the painting!

I spray the brass metal leaf with vinegar, and then put up the marshmellows, the M&Ms, the Big Daddy sausages, the coke, the french fries, and the peanuts. I even use some spaghetti to make a stairway to Heaven - after all, Eric did nickname himself Elijah in his online game.

The final result will show after I wash the whole thing back off. I am pretty excited how it turns out. I will show it to you tomorrow - as soon as it is done!
