Paranormal The art of personifying a tooth

Artistic director of the Third Coast International Audio Festival, Julie Shapiro, seeks out her cartoon teeth. And instead of tracking down bizarre, dentistry-focused art installations, she looks for dental signs with silly artwork of personified teeth. In the photos, some of the teeth are flexing or jumping rope, some have teeth of their own, some are giving off a little sass, but all are smiling—the dentist is, after all, a joyous place. Several of the shots are from Shapiro herself, but she also has received contributions (both local and overseas) from friends, friends of friends, high school acquaintances, and even a few people she's never met. You can check out the ever-growing collection on her Tumblr page.
