Stevens Point - It's fair to say most art galleries don't worry about visitors eating the artwork.

"While Michelangelo sculpted marble and Pablo Picasso painted canvas, a group of artists whose works are on display though Saturday at Riverfront Arts Center in Stevens Point picked a colorful and malleable medium to express their creativity: Peeps.

A few have adult themes, such as "Night of the Living Peeps," which portray Peeps oozing fake blood, as well as "Peeping Tom" of a bunny Peep taking a bath while another Peep ogles through the bathroom window.

As she walked through the gallery, Gingles pointed to a Peep bunny wearing a brown

hat, running from a large ball."A young kid did this, it's just amazing, it's Peepiana Jones," she said of the famous opening scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

I don't know about you, but in closing I feel obligated to include this link to a rather sadistic video on the the demise of Peeps. http://www.jsonline.com/general/37714089.html?bcpid=8725036001&bctid=75569045001
