ARTIST James Kuhn faces up to a new challenge every day. For the wacky painter uses his own mug as a canvas for a new image every 24 hours.

For 365 days running, James painted everything from a juicy hamburger and a bunch of bananas to a weightlifter on his mug.

James, 47, admits: "The worst bit is painting the inside of my nostrils because I end up spitting out the colour for hours."

Famous figures the American has painstakingly daubed on to his face includes rock legends KISS (pictured).

James, from Three Oaks, Michigan, was inspired to be an artist by the work of Picasso.

He says: "I have become obsessed with face painting. I think about what I can do next all the time."
