Man Known As ‘Lickasso’ Paints Pictures With His Record-Breaking Tongue
He’s known as “Lickasso” for his unusual physical attribute and equally unusual talent. According to UPI, Nick Stoeberl of California was awarded the Guinness World Record for the longest male tongue in 2012. It measures 3.97 inches.
So what does one do with the world’s longest tongue? Easy now, this is a family website. If you’re Nick Stoeberl, you take up painting. Hence the nickname, “Lickasso.”
Nick wraps his tongue in plastic wrap, dips it into paint, and then draws on a canvas. Are the paintings any good? Not really. However, due to his extraordinary technique, original “Lickasso” paintings have been sold for up to $1,200. And he even appeared, albeit briefly, on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent in 2016. He was buzzed off the show by all four judges in the audition round. But that didn’t deter “Lickasso!”
Stoeberl demonstrated his unique painting skills during a recent appearance on the UK television program, This Morning. He painted portraits of the show’s co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. I’m not sure it’s worth $1,200, but good for Nick if he can get it.
