This art is sick -- literally. A Vegan artist Millie Brown ditches the old traditional way to create art by vomiting her soymilk paints on empty canvases.

"I feel my work is an expression of raw human nature that pushes boundaries mentally and physically to create work that has true beauty," says Brown.

The eccentric artist's method of art is to first swallow a selection of dyed soymilk in a mixture of colors before vomiting the liquid back onto a white canvas. Her strange yet unique work began back in 2005, and she now regularly creates pieces, as well as putting on a live performances.

"I often set out with an idea of what I'd like to create but I enjoy the uncontrollable element of my work and just go with it," she says. "Filming can be exhausting, it can be an entire day of vomiting which leaves you with migraines but generally I feel good after performing, it's like a cleanse for your body and mind."

Brown's work of art has even been compared to visionary Jackson Pollock, who is famous for his style of drip painting. Furthermore, there are so many varying opinions about it, whether it may be appreciation or detestation.

"There have been so many different reactions to my work, from laughing to crying, love and even death threats," she says. "But I think art is made to make you feel and as long as it makes you feel something it can be powerful.

Lady Gaga certainly loves the art of regurgitation: Brown previously appeared on her controversial music video for "Exorcist Interlude," where she is seen throwing up shimmering turquoise liquid all over the singer's dress.

Brown's method of art requires strict self-control to ensure her pieces come out right. "I don't eat for two days prior to performing so that I clean my stomach of any food, that way the only liquid that comes up is beautiful and pure color," she says. "I can drink anything from one pint to four liters depending on if I'm doing a live performance or creating a canvas piece."

"I time each drink so that each color doesn't mix in my stomach and try to space out my performances so that my body can recover properly," she adds. "It's very much about timing, I find the whole process fascinating and the long meditative fast can be very inspiring."

Despite her regular purging, Millie Brown insists that her work does not affect her health. She also claims that she maintains a healthy vegan lifestyle and leaves a month between performances to allow her body to recover.

"It's definitely not recommended to put your body through this but I'm generally a healthy person so I feel like that balances out the rest," says Brown.
